We are extremely proud of the fact that unlike many cookery sites, we test all of our published recipes.

The author of this recipe feels that it needs improving before it can be considered complete.

Do feel free to use it for inspiration but be aware that it may not yet be perfect.


We were gifted an absolutely massive cauliflower recently, most of which was vacuum packed and frozen for later use. I decided to make a pickle with what was left.

Most of the flavour of a pickle is from the vinegar plus any additional spices. I absolutely love the flavour of Chinkiang black vinegar, it's so nice you could almost drink it. As I want to retain the flavour of the Chinkiang black rice vinegar and not sully it with any other flavours, I'm using just the vinegar and the cauliflower.

To hold all of the pieces of cauliflower under the vinegar and prevent them from going mouldy, I used an odd piece of sterilised plastic to cover them. If you are going to do this only use plastic as most metals will corrode in the vinegar. Some commercial pickles actually come with a plastic disc that performs this function that you might be able to reuse.
