Courgette Pickle Relish
Courgette Pickle RelishAs we have a glut of courgettes I've been trying different things to use them up.
I found a recipe for a courgette pickle relish that is on the spicy side and apparently goes well with burgers etc. so I thought I'd give it a go. Made up two 1lb jars and popped them in the fridge to mature for a few days before trying them. I will let you know what it's like Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: Courgette Pickle RelishOoh I like the sound of that!

Re: Courgette Pickle RelishJust cracked the first jar and it is delicious.
It is quite crunchy, very flavourful and pretty damned spicy, mind you when it said use 1 tsp of mustard powder I did use my Gunpowder mustard which has definitely given it a bit of bite. Will do burgers tomorrow and bung some inside Dom Ali Woks My World

Re: Courgette Pickle RelishJune,
Your wish is my command 500g courgettes. 3 shallots, finely chopped. 2 tbsp salt. For the pickling liquid:- 500ml cider vinegar. 140g golden caster sugar. 1 tsp mustard powder. 1 tsp mustard seeds. 1 tsp celery seeds. ½ dried chilli, crumbled. 1 tsp ground turmeric. Thinly slice the courgettes and put them in a bowl with the shallots and sprinkle over the salt. Cover with ice-cold water, about a litre does the job, stir to dissolve the salt and leave for 1 hr. Drain the courgettes thoroughly and dry them with kitchen roll or tea towels. If you don't the water will dilute the pickling solution. Bung the pickling ingredients into a pan and bring to a simmer. Let them bubble for 3 minutes, making sure the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool until warm but not hot. Add the courgettes and stir. Scoop the mixture into sterilised jars, seal and leave for a few days in the fridge. Kept chilled, these will keep for a couple of months. Recipe makes up two x 1lb/500g jars. Dom Ali Woks My World

Re: Courgette Pickle RelishSlapped some in the burgers tonight and it really added some zing. Ali liked it too so I think I've earned 0.0000000000000000001 of a Brownie Point
