Active preparation time: 30 minutes
Total time: 2 days
Makes: 2 pints of relish
Brined Vegetables
2 cup small cauliflower florets
2 carrots, diced (1 cup)
2–3 stalks celery, sliced on the bias (1 cup)
1 cup jarred pickled peperoncini, sliced, plus ½ cup (4 fl oz/118 ml) peperoncini liquid
1 Serrano pepper, sliced into thin rounds
1 cup green olives with pimento, sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1½ cup (12 fl oz/355 ml) saison
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried oregano
Prepare all the vegetables. Place them in a 1-gallon (3.8-liter) sealable plastic bag. Combine the beer and pepper juice in a mixing bowl and stir in the salt and oregano. The salt will make the mixture foam a bit. Pour the mixture into the bag with the vegetables, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
