Pickled pepperberries and succulents

Get the most out of your native succulents with this homemade pickle by Nornie Bero. The vibrant combination of native Indigenous karkalla and samphire make for a delicious and unique pickle, elevated by a spiced red wine pickling liquid. Best enjoyed with a crumbly cheddar and freshly sliced olive bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tsp coriander seed
  • 1 tbsp pepperberries
  • 1 lemongrass stalk
  • 3 star anise
  • 2 cups karkalla
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 cup samphire
  • 1 long chilli
  • cheddar cheese, to serve

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seeds, cinnamon sticks, coriander seeds, pepperberries, lemongrass stalk and star anise. Bring to the boil over a high heat and keep on a rolling boil for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool for 3 minutes.

Allow to cool completely in the fridge. When ready to serve, eat the pickles with cheddar cheese and olive bread.
