Of all the pickles prepared in the Middle East-and there are many of them - this is one of the most spectacular looking. A delight to serve with grilled and roasted meats. Be patient and resist the temptation to open the jar before they are ready! Once opened they will keep for 4-6 weeks in a cool place, if they last that long! From a favourite book The Complete Meze Table.

SERVES 20 , 4 half liter kilner pickling jars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs small turnips
  • 9 ounces raw beetroots, preferably not much larger than the turnips
  • 4 ounces fresh dates, stoned and halved (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic, cloves skinned and very finely chopped
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons salt
  • 3 3/4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel the turnips and cut in half.
  2. 2
    Peel the beetroot and slice thinly.
  3. 3
    Pack the turnips into sterilised jars alternating with layers of the beetroot, garlic and dates.
  4. 4
    Bring the water and the salt to boil and then add the vinegar.
  5. 5
    Pour over the vegetables making sure they are completely covered by the liquid.
  6. 6
    If there is not quite enough liquid add a little more vinegar and brine.
  7. 7
    Seal the jars and leave in the kitchen.
  8. 8
    Ready to eat in 10-12 days.

Lovely easy recipe for wonderful pickles! These are both more garlicky and more beet-y than the ones I've had in restaurants, and next time I make them I think I will use less beet, both because I found the beet flavour a bit strong and the colour too dark — I love it when they are a bright neon pink. However, that's a minor quibble - these are great pickles. Love 'em!
