Green asazuke-inspired pickle
Makes 2 litres
Easy
30 minutes“Asazuke is a Japanese-style pickle that’s very tasty with rice, chicken or grilled fish. I made this slightly unconventional green one with Savoy cabbage and Romanesco, but you will usually find carrots, radishes and sometimes mushrooms in it.”– Khanya Mzongwana
