Caraway Pickles

These caraway pickles offer a sophisticated twist on a classic store-cupboard staple. By combining the earthy, anise-like notes of caraway seeds with the gentle warmth of cinnamon and a hint of chilli heat, these cucumbers provide a complex flavour profile that balances sweetness and acidity. Using crisp English cucumbers ensures a satisfying crunch that makes them a versatile addition to any vegetarian or vegan spread.

This quick pickling method is ideal for those looking to elevate a simple salad or add a punchy garnish to plant-based burgers and sandwiches. Because the cucumbers are steeped in a fragrant brine rather than fermented, they retain a vibrant colour and fresh texture. Serve them alongside savoury tarts or as part of a homemade deli platter for a bright, refreshing contrast.
