Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • ½ tsp chili flakes / whole fresh chili
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place your cauliflower, bay leaves, and chilis / chili flakes into a sterilized jar(s).
