This sharp acidic solution is great for vegetables that you would normally cook before eating. Denser vegetables, such as baby onions, garlic cloves or root vegetables will all work well. Thinly sliced raw beetroot (beet) is another great option; leave it in the solution for 1–2 days. Use non-iodised salt so the solution doesn't turn cloudy.
Makes enough solution for 500g – 900g of vegetables.
