MIDDLE EASTERN PICKLED TURNIPS (PINK PICKLES!)
Easy Middle Eastern pickled turnips and beets take just 10 minutes to prepare thanks to the no-boil brine! Perfectly tangy, slightly sour, and so crunchy, you'll love eating these pink pickles with pretty much any Middle Eastern meal! I love them for brunch with some boiled eggs and labneh, chopped and sprinkled onto salads, and stuffed into pita sandwiches with falafel or shawarma.

Steps:
- Make the brine. In a large measuring cup or a bowl with a pour spout, combine the distilled water and kosher salt. Stir until the salt has fully dissolved, then stir in the vinegar.
- In a large mason jar with a lid, arrange the turnips and beets (use two jars if you need to, making sure each jar has some beets for color). Add the chile peppers (or red pepper flakes), if using.
- Pour the brine into the jar/s, making sure the liquid covers the turnips all the way to the top.
- Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for 5 days before using.

PICKLED BABY TURNIPS
I didn't know how delicious these would be until I came back from a trip 10 days after pickling some gorgeous baby red turnips. Initially they tasted sort of blah, but after 10 days they were infused with the pickling brine, which contrasted beautifully with their innate pungent, almost piquant turnip flavor. Cut them into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick at the widest point.

Steps:
- Place the turnips in a bowl or jar.
- In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and sugar. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add to the vinegar and sugar mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and stir well. Pour over the turnips, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating and for up to 2 weeks. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the turnips to keep them submerged. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.

PICKLED TURNIPS
Finally, the underestimated and neglected turnip takes the stage. Oh that crunchy, fuchsia goodness! A staple in the Middle East, pickled turnips are the perfect addition to many dishes or wonderful on their own. This recipe will yield 2 Mason jars worth of pickled turnips, but I recommend making more than less since it does require planning ahead by 1 week.

QUICK PICKLED RADISHES
Pickled radishes add a nice flavor to so many things, including salads, noodle bowls, tacos, and brisket sandwiches. They're even great on their own! They're easily customizable with different spices and seasonings. These are ready in minutes, but the flavor only gets better overnight. They will turn a lovely shade of pink the longer they sit. Use a mandoline slicer for quick, even slicing. Will keep for several weeks.
