Method
- Wash the veg thoroughly before preparing. Fill a freshly sterilised* heatproof 500ml jar with the veg, chilli and thyme.
- In a separate, very clean, jug, mix together the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, star anise, sugar, vinegar, salt and 100ml freshly boiled water until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
- Pour this pickling liquid over the veg. Top up with freshly boiled water if needed to fully submerge everything. Screw on the lid, then tip the jar upside down a few times to disperse the spices. Leave to pickle for at least 1 hr or for up to 3 months. The longer it’s left, the stronger it will be. Once opened, store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
