For a long time, we've flooded the sour, running out of ideas about what else to do with them. The next day, I found myself in the most beautiful corner of the Internet and looked for a new way to use my Pickles and Oil Berries. There are endless uses for you remaining pickleIncluding salad casting, sauces, martinis, marinade and cheffe tricks, such as Gels. I hate to throw out perfectly good pickles, and Rice seemed like the right empty canvas to absorb all the delicious flavors. So, where I finally got down, it was an incredibly simple trick when adding pickles and other salt to the rice cooking water.
An idea is as questionable as it seems, and the use of pickles and rice is not completely new. Southeast -Indian food such as Achari pulao Includes marinated vegetables or manges to flavor the rice while cooking and of course the marinated vegetables are fabulous supplements rice bowls and SpamBut the idea of using the remaining pickle as a liquid for rice was new to me. So I tried the method with the liquid from a bottle of groceries from dill pickles, olives, capers and sweet pepper with saline. All spices were suspended in saline, primarily consisting of water, vinegar and salt, and my tests had no lacto-produced pickles.
My methodology
For each of the four tests, I cooked a small item of basmati rice with my mini 2-Cup rice maker. I used 100 g of rice, 50 g of salt solution and 100 g of water for each test, but only one to try it standard rice vesselThe replacement of the water is 2: 1, water-salt. Initially, I thought we were replacing all the water with saline, but I didn't want to risk the rice too salty.

When I opened the pickle of pickles, he reminded me that I would go into a Delibe – these yellow salt spear spear the salt -smelling smell and the taste with which I grew up. Given the strong scent of pickles, I expected that the rice had more vinegar flavors, but Itonly had a faint taste of pickles and a slightly sauer sour aftertaste I noticed after a few bitten. It wasn't my favorite rice-the sour taste was one-digit and was not complicated.
Divine organic Castelvetrano olive
There are too many olives to choose from, so I just chose my favorite – Castevetrano. The rice almost took over the mild, buttery taste of the olive as if they were adding the smallest olive oil or butter to the dish. I expected to taste like a dirty Martini, but it was much finer. It was the most salient rice – not too much but noticeable. I enjoyed it and I will eat this rice gently white fish or shrimpOr
Roland Capape
When I opened the dish, these capers had an extreme aroma that I thought it would completely overcome the rice, but not. The capers-flavored rice felt good and not too acidic or salty. Like someone who usually does not go to the capers, this rice was pleasantly surprised. I would serve with fried salmon, add stuffed vegetablesOr serve with another dish that requires a small blow to vinegar.
Greek farms Greek fried red pepper
There were only a few options for the peppers that wrapped in a vinegar based saline instead of oil. I wanted the saline solution to be comparable to other spices, so I chose this roasted red peppers. This rice was delicately sweet and had a slight pepper taste to match its slightly orange shade. After a few bites, I was able to pick up the charred aroma from the roasting of peppers, which is a welcome complexity. This rice is versatile enough to serve all kinds of food, but it would be particularly coupled fried chicken or grilled steakOr
Yes, try this at home!
By the end of this test, there was so much sour salt that I started picking myself up. Strangely, in this head-head marinated rice test, the rice was actually the worst with the help of Pickle Sline. This may be the reason for this. Could a garlic salty pickle be led to delicious garlic rice? I enjoyed the roasted pepper rice so much that I plan to add it to the lateral Dish rotation. I may even hit a few diced roasted pepper. As I looked at the semi -eaten dishes, or at the back of my fridge, I looked at some banana peppers and artichoke eyes. This experiment is definitely continued.
