I have some eggs I need to use up and I mentioned to my friend that I wanted to try and pickle them. Lo and behold I open up UA-cam and I find this video waiting for me. What a coincidence😅 I’m grateful though this is perfect!
HaHa, that's awesome!
If you have an android phone and it was on and near you when you were having that conversation, its no coincidence at all. Just fyi.
They listen to your conversations
There is no low and behold. The fact is... your phone is listening to everything you say and a UA-cam video will pop up in recommendations within 24 hours. Don't believe me... just pick any random subject and speak it out loud.
Growing up, my cousins always had giant jars of pickled beets with eggs and onions. It was a holiday tradition.
Mmmmmm! Great tradition.
If you're just going to put in fridge don't waste canning lids. Just let cool and use regular lids.
If you come up a little short on pickling liquid you can top off with white vinegar.
Pickling seasoning is good to add as well.
Good suggestions 👍. When we do shelf preserves we use only new lids so I have a ton of old canning lids around and that's what I used here.
Nice to see Kohlrabi being used.. I always make them around Thanksgiving. I cook them up ad make a white cream sauce for them..Delicious
Great idea! Kohlrabi is definitely under utilized.
I haven’t tasted Kohlrabi, but it looks like it could be in the cabbage family. I’m pretty sure I would like it especially pickled and mixed with another vegetable. So many wonderful veggies out there. The Lord must love us very much..
It can also be eaten raw or in a gratin. There are many ways to utilize it. 😊
"Pickle. Why wouldn't you? Just pickle." 🤣
😉
Thats what hes doing😮
Adding a few bay leaves in will help with crispness
Interesting 🤔. I Will give that a shot.
@@Delicious.Isthmus Check fermenters kitchen for the science behind them... Has to do with the tannins in bay leaves.
@@appa561 I will check it out. Thanks for the info.
Latest study shows that fermented food, like 🥒 pickles, are good for longevity, even though salty. The benefits outweigh it.
Not to mention delicious! 🤣🤣🤣
@@Delicious.Isthmus Hallelujah!
Pickled shrimp and cod fish are also outstanding.
I've done smelts, and they turned out well. 🦈👍
You sound like a really lovely guy.
You instill enthusiasm in us as you pickle.
I want to get started now!😁
Thoroughly enjoyed your pickling lesson.
Thankyou
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it...and have fun pickling!
I grow the purple kohlrabi in my garden & there are many ways to utilize them. From raw, in a salad, to a curry or a gratin. It’s endless. However, the bigger they are, the less flavor they have 😉🧑🏾🍳
Thanks for the info. I really enjoy kohlrabi as well.
This was very entertaining. Thank you! 🇬🇧👋🇨🇦 nice hat too!
Glad you like the hat! Thanks for the feedback.
looks great thanks, going to try this at the weekend👍
Good Luck, I hope it works well for you!
Everything looks delicious Chef...😊
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Pickled cherry tomatoes. Use a toothpick to poke holes so that the brine can work its way in.
Great advice! I have done that in the past and it was fantastic. Works with green ones too, just up the sugar a bit.
I like the quick pickle method👍
Thanks for liking
This was a great class on pickles!! 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great recipe thanks for this, just in time for summer gluts. Jo UK 🙂
Oh yeah, bring on that summer excess!
You made this look easy , kohlrabi is a good idea , also like rice vinegar anyway , so that sounds interesting as well . Thanks .
Easy Pickles! Thanks for the feedback 🙂.
🎉we pickle green beans and onions together all the time
That sounds good. I will try that combination.
I do short term pickling and use jars from products that have a little rubber in them- Jam jars etc- I picklelots of stuff- I just refrig when jar is cold- Beans- cukes- beets - eggs- etc- always have something to use- Iam old and pickle a lot of canned goods from the store
Mine is easy only season and boil juice and pour over product I have already put cold in jar- comeout perfect
@@marlenecardinahl9346 It's a great way to have interesting food in the fridge all the time.
Awesome
Thanks!
I put up 8 doz quail eggs to pickle today. I love them on my salads.
Sounds delish. I will try quail too.
Put U-tube back on
I wish I had access to quail eggs. They would make such a nice little treat. Just pop it in your mouth.
Thank you
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Can you do this with green beans?? I think they" d look great on a charcuterie board.
Yes! This works with green beans just remember to store in the fridge. Love the charcuterie board idea 😉.
Ball Blue Book has a fab recipe for Dilly Beans. Pickled and spicy!
I make pickled sugar snap peas. They are delicious.
Thank you , great video I really enjoyed it . I’m going to try pickling all you suggest , although I don’t know what Isthmus is 🤔 I’ll need to google it.
I love the look of the red eggs. I can’t wait to try them.
The eggs are delicious, I'm sure you will love them. An isthmus is a narrow piece of land with water on both sides connecting two larger land masses. I live on the isthmus of Chignecto which connects the province of Nova Scotia to the rest of North America.
Merci monsieur.
De rien!
Thankyou
You’re welcome, thanks for watching.
Here in Southern LA. we pickle mirliton, that's the only way I'll eat it.
Interesting...I have never tried it but will keep my eye out. Thanks.
Do you ever do cabbage, carrots or any other veggies? … how about a sour pickle for the refrigerator?
Yes! I have done carrots with this recipe. I do fermented carrots and cabbage as well and I do keep those in the fridge too. Maybe a good video idea 🤔.
Kohlrabi is good in stir frys.
I love me a good stir fry. I'll give it a try!
Try green tomatoes, they taste great when pickled
Great Advice. I love pickled green tomatoes, we make them every year!
Pickle egg in jar on a shelf 😊😊😊😅😊😊
🥳
will a little alum enhance the crunch?
If you want more crunch, soak overnight on ice sprinkled with salt in the fridge before pickling the next day. An ice bath pulls excess water from the veg and helps develop a better crunch. I did not show this step in my video for simplicity sake.
Never had kohlrabbi, what does it taste like?
Kohlrabi is in the brassica family so it is closely related to broccoli, cauliflower and kale. It can be eaten raw or cooked and taste like a radish or turnip.
Excellent video. The fact that you didn’t make enough pickling liquid and just move us along makes it so much less intimidating to try. Thanks.
Thanks, there is no such thing in cooking as failures, just learning opportunities! Plus you can usually eat your mistakes 🙂.
👊👊👊🤙🤙🤙
🤟
Do you keep the shell on your eggs?
No, the shells are peeled off first.
@Delicious.isthmus thank you
Can you use stevia instead of sugar in the brine?
You can! I have not tried it myself. Just substitute the appropriate amount of stevia for sugar.
Can I not add sugar and make it more dilly or salty?
It would be safe as long as you store it in the fridge. Just make a small batch of something and see if you like the taste. 🙂
Is there any substitute for the sugar? I am diabetic.
You can! I have not tried it myself. Just substitute the appropriate amount of stevia for sugar. You can also ferment or salt food to preserve it.
Do you have to use sugar?
You can use your favourite alternative sweetener as long as you keep your pickles in the fridge. If you omit the sugar altogether it will work but will be very tart.
Can you pickle asparagus?
Yes!
Are the eggs pealed
Yes, the eggs are peeled.
Looks more like Jicama than Kohlrabi.
It does look like Jicama!
You waste to much on the kohlrabi,use a potato peeler.Tumeric or beets make a pretty .Delish.
HaHa! I use it in the vegetable stock. No waste.
Why not peel the eggs?
They are peeled. I peeled them off camera.
I love all the information you presented, which I'm impatient to try but I don't understand why you, as a Pro, cut one cucumbumber at a time instead of two. And, spell the spice you call "Toomerik" and see if your pronunciation will change afterward.
For better or for worse I'm a product of my environment and that's how we pronounce turmeric. 🙂
@@Delicious.Isthmus Most people do, it seems...including world-class chefs.
alot of mucking around with your vege by wasting alot of it, by cutting it to conformity
You can rough cut everything. It will still work. This is for my restaurant so I make it all uniform. I use all the scraps in soups and stocks.
Thank you❣️just found you today❣️love your personality and video❣️so I subbed turned on Notifications and liked and going to bing watch your videos❣️🤗🫶Nice too meet you❣️🫶🤗🌹🐈⬛👍❤️🌼🌸🌹❤️
Thank You! 😎
Love pickled eggs with beets!!

i can buy a jar of pickles cheaper than making them
Good for you!
Haha, I’d much rather make my own , taste better too. Thanks chef. 🧑🍳
