Chanie has been telling me about her mother’s pickled cauliflower recipe for some time. We figured this would be a good opportunity to feature it, as it needs to pickle for a week, making it a great mishloach manos to prepare in advance.
1 (32-oz./907-g.) package cauliflower
3 mixed bell peppers (red, orange, and yellow), cut into 1/4-inch–wide strips
1 pound (1/2 kilogram) medium carrots, cut into 3- to 4-inch-long strips (1/4-inch thick)
3 and 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1 and 3/4 cups water
4 cloves garlic, halved
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
Place cauliflower, bell peppers, and carrots in an eight-quart pot half full of unsalted boiling water, then immediately turn off heat and let stand, uncovered, two minutes. Drain vegetables in a colander and spread out on a kitchen towel to cool to room temperature
Bring remaining ingredients to a boil in a three-quart nonreactive saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Transfer this pickling liquid to a four-quart nonreactive bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Discard garlic (don’t be alarmed if it has turned blue in reaction to the vinegar) and add vegetables to pickling liquid. Weight vegetables with a plate to keep them submerged in liquid if necessary. Chill, covered, at least one week.
