Since I’m not a believer of sugar replacement or any sweetener since I believe that everything processed is not good for our body, here is a twist of some Keto pickles recipes. Of course, without any sweetener or sugar.
I live in Indonesia and our pickles is actually a mix of cucumber, carrots, shallots and some, will add chilies. So you are most definitely okay to add chili in your pickles. I cannot. My bf cannot handle heat. 😜😜.
Alright, here we go. FYI, it will give you 2 x 500 gr jars of pickles. If you only wanna make 1 jar, then cut everything half.
Ingredients:
- 1 Japanese cucumber (dark green, long and taste is sweet. Yes, I’m taking it’s sweetness to replace sugar). Dice, slice do whatever you like.
- 1 big carrot. Again, cut it however you like.
- 10 medium shallots. Cut into half or quarter, depending the size
- 1 small yellow onion. Slice it thin
- 1 clove of garlic. Crushed.
- 3 tsp black peppercorn
- pinch of sea salt
- 10 tbsp white vinegar
- water
Instructions:
- Prepare the veggies, then put them in a bowl, then mix with peppercorn and pinch of sea salt
- Crush the garlic, and put 1/2 in each jar.
- Add the veggies in the jars
- Pour 5 tbsp of vinegar to each jar
- Pour the water until covering the veggies.
- Close the jar, mix it well, put them in the fridge for 24 hours. That’s it!
