Turmeric Infused Daikon Radish & Ginger Pickle

By nutritional therapist Christine Bailey

A fabulous anti-inflammatory pickle perfect for supporting digestion. Serve with salads, fish or meat.

(makes 1 large 1 litre kilner jar)

Ingredients:
400g daikon radish, peeled
8 red radishes, halved then sliced thinly
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks

Method:
Halve daikon lengthwise, then cut crosswise into thin slices – for very thin slices use a mandoline. Pack the two types of radish in a sterilised kilner jar and add the ginger.

Dissolve the salt and turmeric in 1 litre of water. Pour over the water making sure the vegetables are covered.

Leave just a little room at the top for gas expansion. Put the lid on, and leave at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or until it tastes slightly sour.

Once opened keep in the fridge.
