Summer Side Dish Pickles
For the past few days, articles about making Frao-san's recipes have continued, but today I would like to introduce my classic summer recipe.
I make it using whatever vegetables I have on hand at the time.

While there are some things I make with approximate measurements, for my staple menu items, I measure the ingredients and keep notes on how to make them.
(I started filing them from the day my daughter asked me to write them down and save them.)

The amount of vegetables for the pickles I want to introduce this time is not fixed, but I have decided on the proportions for the pickling liquid.
Pickling liquid ingredients
・150cc water
・100cc vinegar
・2 tablespoons sugar
・1 teaspoon salt
・1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
・1 bay leaf
・1 chili pepper
Put everything in and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat immediately and let it cool as is.

While the pickling liquid is cooling, cut the vegetables.



submerge them in water.

For other vegetables, boil or steam them to cook through, then let them cool to room temperature.

Once they have cooled, put them in a storage bag and add enough pickling liquid to cover the vegetables.

At this time, the quantity was large, so I also separated the onion and cabbage.


My summer refrigerator looks like this every year.
My staple side dishes are pickles, ratatouille, and Japanese pickles.
The things I always keep on hand are natto, tofu, and apple cider vinegar.

I've been posting a lot of cooking notes lately, but thank you for reading to the end again today without getting tired of them.
Here is my second staple summer side dish, ratatouille.

I checked to see if there was a pickle recipe among Furao-san's recipes, and I found one on X.
I didn't know how to paste the link, so I'll just paste a copy here.

スティック状に切った野菜と一緒に瓶に詰めて、冷蔵庫で一晩寝かせれば、お手軽に「ピクルス」も作れます^^
