Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1 red pepper
  • 2-3 garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon carom seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dill

Instructions
 

  • Wash and pat dry the green beans. Trim their ends and chop them up into long pieces.
  • Combine vinegar, salt, sugar and water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add black peppercorns and carom seeds.
  • Pack the green beans, garlic and peppers in a glass jar.
  • Add dill and pour the brine into the jar. Let it cool down and come to room temperature before you refrigerate.

Notes

  • Allow your green beans to sit in the pickling liquid for at least 24 hours before you serve it! This helps them soften a bit and soak up all those wonderful flavors.
  • Selecting good quality beans and peppers is crucial to this recipe. Make sure you pick ones that are firm, ripe and don't have any soft spots on their surface.
  • Also clean and pat dry them to remove all moisture before you add them to the jar. This will prevent spoilage.
  • You can also add other whole spices like mustard seeds (I used it for my pickled sausage and eggs recipe), cumin seeds or dill seeds- whatever you have at hand.
  • If you're avoiding sugar, simply skip adding it and add a little more salt to the brine.
  • Make sure there's enough pickling liquid to completely submerge the beans. This will ensure there's no bacterial growth.
  • You can also add other veggies like carrots, red onions, shallots, ginger and cabbage to this quick pickle if you want to.
  • To lend the brine an extra tangy flavor, you can also add some freshly squeezed lime juice. I used it while making my pickled turmeric and it tasted absolutely fab!
