Pickled Zucchini

  • 4 cup thinly sliced zucchini
  • 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2-4 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar

Place the zucchini and onion in a large bowl. Add the salt and cover with water. Add a few ice cubes in. Let this sit for at least an hour.

While the zucchini is doing its thing, place the rest of the ingredients into a sauce pan and simmer for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Drain zucchini and onion. Divide the zucchini and onion between 2 pint sized Mason jars and fill each jar with the vinegar. Place into the fridge overnight to let all of the wonderful flavors to come together.

~Enjoy~
