Cooking Steps

1

• Trim green tops from baby rainbow carrots and scrub them clean (halve any thick carrots lengthways). • Thinly slice brown onion and fresh chilli.

2

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add carrots to the boiling water and blanch over high heat until vibrant in colour, 1-2 minutes. • Drain carrots and cool in cold water. • Transfer carrots, onion, chilli and thyme sprigs to a large sterilised glass jar.

3

• Return medium saucepan to high heat with the white wine vinegar, white sugar, salt and water. Bring to the boil and cook until sugar is dissolved, 1-2 minutes.

4

• Pour pickling liquid over carrots. Top up with more boiling water if necessary. • Cover with a lid and set aside to cool slightly. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. • Serve pickled baby rainbow carrots as desired. Enjoy!

TIP: The pickles are best enjoyed the next day!
