Fermented Hungarian Mix Veggies Royalty-Free Stock Image

CSALAMÁDÉ is a typical Hungarian preserve, full of spiced vegetable, such as cabbage, pickles. The pickling process requires scarcely any skills, apart from patience. It is mostly about playing with your food, then waiting for the vegetables to ferment under the combined action of salt, vinegar and sugar. The resulting mix has a right balance between sweet and sour, with a little leftover crunch which make it very pleasant to munch on on its own, along a glass of aperitif, or to refresh in the course of a heavier meal.
