Ingredients
- 500 grams Large turnips
- 1 unit Small beetroot
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 3 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Peel the turnips and cut them into wedges or sticks of your desired size for pickling.
Step 2
Peel the beetroot and slice it into thin rounds.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and slightly crush them to release their flavor.
Step 4
In a large saucepan, combine water, vinegar, kosher salt, and sugar. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely to form your brine.
Step 5
In a sterilized glass jar, begin layering the turnip pieces, beet slices, and garlic cloves. Ensure the layers are packed tightly but not smashed.
Step 6
Pour the brine into the jar, covering the vegetables completely. If necessary, press the vegetables down gently to keep them submerged.
Step 7
Seal the jar tightly with its lid and leave it at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. The brine will turn pink as the beetroot colors the turnips.
Step 8
After 3 to 5 days, taste-test the pickles to see if they've reached your desired level of tanginess. Once ready, transfer the jar to the refrigerator to stop the fermentation process.
Step 9
Serve your Torshi Lift as a tangy, colorful accompaniment to any meal!
