Playing in the Kitchen: Sage & Rosemary QUICK Pickles

August 13, 2013 by Cindy Leave a Comment

It’s Left-Handers Day! Who knew?
In honor of Left-Handers everywhere, I though it more than appropriate to share my Quick Pickle recipe. Namely because when I photographed them, I didn’t realize me recent left-handedness was glaringly obvious. Can’t you tell?

Holding a Pyrex measuring cup with your left hand means reading the metric measurements. Such is the plight of left-handers.

Luckily I was not using the Pyrex measuring cup to measure anything… just to hold my cucumbers and herbs to make yummuy pickles!

I had always thought that pickles were something that HAD sit in a brine in a jar for a long time in order to “pickle”. But after watching episodes of Chopped, and hearing many constant chefs make “a quick pickle” out of the veggies in their basket, I realized there is another way!

So, these pickles came out of a need to use up a cucumber while it was still edible. I had also recently rescued a little sage plant from the clearance table at the grocery store. And we have a monster of a rosemary plant growing in the backyard.

The original recipe I found at Mother Earth Living called for a thinly sliced onion. I did not have an onion. I persevered.

The results were pretty tasty as a snack on their own. I also diced a handful and used the resulting “relish” on a burger. THAT was very good.

Thanks Chopped! You’ve made a Quick Pickle believer out of me. 😀
