“One of the tastiest (and prettiest) additions to a summer menu, these spicy pickled carrots can be prepped in minutes. They bring colour and tang to any plate.”- Jacqueline Burgess
1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Gently fry the carrots for about 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and soften for 2 minutes.
2. Remove the carrots from the heat, sprinkle over the sugar and pour over the remaining ingredients. Transfer to an airtight container and chill overnight.
Cook’s note: The pickle will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
