Ingredients
- 4 medium bulbs kohlrabi
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 dill sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Peel the kohlrabi bulbs and slice them into thin matchsticks or small wedges, depending on your preference.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the brine cool slightly.
Step 3
Divide the sliced kohlrabi evenly among two sterilized pint-sized jars.
Step 4
Add one garlic clove, 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds, a sprig of dill, and a pinch of red chili flakes to each jar for flavoring.
Step 5
Carefully pour the warm brine over the kohlrabi in each jar, ensuring the slices are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Step 6
Seal the jars tightly with lids and let them cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator.
Step 7
Allow the kohlrabi to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming, though the flavor will deepen the longer it sits. Consume within 2–3 weeks for best quality.
