Cauliflower Chilli Pickle

Cauliflower Chilli Pickle

When we had a Cauliflower in the fridge 4 weeks ago which was looking a bit past it Sue decided to have a play with my strange Lacto-fermenting gig. A bold step for a qualified Chef who knows if we were still in the trade the EHO would go nuts!

But Cauliflower Chilli Pickle is pretty cool. So as we have eaten the last batch – version #2 with whole Black Peppercorns and Red Chilli Pods…..

Ingredients:-

½ a Cauliflower head, chopped into lumps.
2 tbsp Salt
Whole Black Peppercorns
2 Red Chilli Pods
Chilli flakes
450ml Water

Method:-

(1) Add the Salt to the Water and heat to dissolve.
(2) Allow to cool to room temperature.
(3) Cram all the other bits & bobs in to a clip top jar. Allow a bit of heat room so you can get everything under the brine.
(4) Pour the brine over everything, making sure all the raw bits are submerged.
(5) Close the lid and forget about it for 3 weeks!

Air Fryer Brunch method

Clearly we didn’t go to the trouble of frying the Eggs or heating the Baked Beans in the Air Fryer. There’s not a lot of point trying to reinvent the wheel. But everything else was done in the Air Fryer.

Air fryer cooking is all about timing. Cook the items which need the longest time first, remove to rest and then reheat everything before serving.

So for this brunch, we went with something like this:-

Steps:-

(1) Take 4 frozen Potato Waffles from the freezer.
(2) Slice Cheese to cover the top.
(3) Cut Bacon (Home cured in our case) to cover the Waffles and cook in the Air Fryer.
(4) Remove the Bacon and allow to cool.
(5) Place the Sausages in the Air Fryer and cook until browned.
(6) Remove the Sausage and set aside.
(7) On the Waffles add the cooked Bacon and then the Cheese and a good dribble of Henderson’s Relish.
(8) Place these in the Air Fryer an cook until the Cheese has melted and bubbled.
(9) Fry your Eggs and heat your Baked Beans in the more conventional way!!!! (Remember the reinventing the wheel gig?!)
(10) In the salted Oil which has accumulated in the bottom tray fry a couple on slices of Bread. (Gluten free in our case).
(11) Add the Mushrooms to the same lower tray.
(12) When the Mushrooms are cooked return everything to the Air Fryer to heat.
(13) Serve with your fried Eggs and Beans.

This was a really tasty meal. The Waffles with Bacon and melted Cheese and Fried Bread were certainly the star of the show here…...
