Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Buy a head of cabbage and use a knife to slice it. You can also buy pre-shredded cabbage if you prefer.
- I recommend buying a full-sized carrot, and using a cheese grater to shred it into thin pieces. I do not recommend buying pre-cut matchstick carrots, as it will change the texture.
- Scotch bonnet peppers are more popular in this recipe. They can be hard to find in American grocery stores, so you can also substitute habanero peppers.You can also substitute
- Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce
- .
- Allow your Pikliz Recipe to sit in the fridge or on the counter for at least 2-3 days before enjoying it (for best results). You can eat your Pikliz right away, but allowing the vegetables to soak in the vinegar for a while will produce better taste.
- Use gloves when cutting your peppers and avoid touching your face after cooking! You don’t want to burn your skin or your eyes.
- Remove the seeds from the habanero peppers if you want a less spicy pikliz.
- Some recipes call for adding lime juice. You can add a few tablespoons of lime juice if you prefer!
