Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Pickled shallots with spices and bay
- Place the shallots in a large plastic bowl. Mix the salt into 1 litre of hot water and pour over the shallots.
- Place a plate on top of the shallots to keep them submerged, then leave to soak for 2 days in the fridge.
- Sterilise the jars by washing in warm soapy water, rinsing and placing in a moderate oven for 5 minutes.
- Place the vinegars, spices, sugar and bay leaves in a pan, stir gently and bring to just below boiling point.
- Once all the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and leave to go completely cold.
- Drain the shallots from the salted water and pat dry with kitchen towel.
- Pack the shallots in the sterilized jars, then pour over the vinegar and spices.
- Seal and store in a cool dark place for 1 month to mature. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within 1 month.
Cook's tip: If you want to make your own pickling spice mix, use 8 allspice berries, 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds, 3 teaspoons mixed peppercorns and 1 teaspoon white mustard seeds.
