Ingredients serves 10 +
2 days preparation
1 x cauliflower – small florets
2 x onions – diced
30g salt
600ml white wine vinegar
300ml malt vinegar
Pinch of dried chilli
1 x cucumber – deseeded
25g mustard powder
15g turmeric
350g sugar
Method
First, to start the process you will need to mix the cauliflower and onion with the salt. Leave in a bowl, covered at room temperature for 24 hours.
The next day wash the vegetables under cold water and drain well. In a small bowl, mix the mustard powder, turmeric, cornflour and sugar all together with about 200ml of vinegar until a paste has formed.
Bring the rest of the vinegars and chilli to the boil in a pan and mix in the powdered mix.
Cook on a low heat for five minutes before folding in the vegetables.
If you have kilner jars make sure they are clean, and place the mix inside and seal closed.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
