These vibrant pink pickled turnips are a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally served alongside falafel, grilled meats, or as part of a colourful mezze spread. The striking fuchsia hue comes naturally from the addition of a fresh beetroot, while a hint of red chilli provides a gentle, warming heat. They offer a satisfyingly crisp texture and a sharp, tangy flavour that cuts beautifully through rich or savoury dishes.
As a simple vegan condiment, this recipe is ideal for those who enjoy home-preserving with minimal effort. While they require a week in the fridge to develop their characteristic punchy flavour, the preparation takes mere minutes. Scale the recipe up if you have a seasonal glut of turnips, as these pickles will keep perfectly in the refrigerator for up to a month.
