Quick pickling is one of our favorite culinary tricks. No need to wait hours, days or even weeks to enjoy the food you love in pickled form. By heating up some water, vinegar and sugar and adding in your choice of vegetables, you get a similar feel without the long wait. You can pickle beets, garlic, cucumber, zucchini, red onion, or, one of our personal favorites, sliced shallots. Throw them on to salads, sandwiches or incorporate them into your next meal for a nice little punch of flavor. These quick pickled shallots are an easy addition to keep on hand. Learn how to make quick pickled shallots with our culinary academy chef in this step-by-step video tutorial.
