MIDDLE EASTERN PICKLED TURNIPS (PINK PICKLES!)



Middle Eastern Pickled Turnips (Pink Pickles!) image

Easy Middle Eastern pickled turnips and beets take just 10 minutes to prepare thanks to the no-boil brine! Perfectly tangy, slightly sour, and so crunchy, you'll love eating these pink pickles with pretty much any Middle Eastern meal! I love them for brunch with some boiled eggs and labneh, chopped and sprinkled onto salads, and stuffed into pita sandwiches with falafel or shawarma.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups distilled water, (see note if you want to use tap water)
¼ cup kosher salt, (do not use table salt)
1 cup distilled white vinegar
2 large turnips, (about 2 pounds, peeled and cut into ½-inch-thick batons)

Dried red chile peppers or red pepper flakes, (optional, to your liking)

  • Make the brine. In a large measuring cup or a bowl with a pour spout, combine the distilled water and kosher salt. Stir until the salt has fully dissolved, then stir in the vinegar.
  • In a large mason jar with a lid, arrange the turnips and beets (use two jars if you need to, making sure each jar has some beets for color). Add the chile peppers (or red pepper flakes), if using.
  • Pour the brine into the jar/s, making sure the liquid covers the turnips all the way to the top.
  • Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for 5 days before using.

  • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, water, and salt to make a brine. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until the salt is dissolved.
  • Cut the turnips and beet in half from top to bottom, and then into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Pierce the jalapeno with a knife for mild heat, or cut it in half lengthwise to expose the seeds and ribs for more heat.
  • Pack the turnips and beets into a quart jar layered with the garlic cloves, tucking in the hot pepper next to the glass as you go (it's pretty that way). Top with hot pepper flakes (if using instead of the jalapeno) and the pickling spice.
  • Pour the brine into the jar, leaving about 1/2-inch headspace. Top the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 days and up to a couple of months, shaking the jar occasionally at first to distribute the pink hue of the beet.
