Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (11 g) allspice berries
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 2 wiri wiri peppers (or 1/2 habanero pepper) roughly chopped (remove seeds for mild heat)
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  • MAKE the pickle brine: add the water, allspice berries, mustard seeds and coconut aminos to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until the water reduces by half, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  • ADD the salt, sliced red onions, wiri wiri (or habanero) peppers, and garlic cloves, then stir to combine. Cover and let the mixture sit until it cools completely, for about 10 minutes.
  • POUR the mixture into a mason jar or similar container.
  • ADD the vinegar and the sliced cucumbers, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Use as a condiment.
