Start saving your avocado from ripening with one of the quick easy recipes: the addictive pickled avocado recipe. Try it today!
I love avocado. I am sure many of you love avocado as well. Sliced over sunny-side-up eggs, a guacamole dip with your favorite tacos, over a crab salad… the choices are many and avocado just fits perfectly. But who does not struggle with the fact that avocado ripens too fast? Luckily, now you can save your avocado from ripening with one of the quick easy recipes: this addictive pickled avocado recipe.
This recipe is a great trick to having preserved avocado sitting in your fridge for a month. With simple steps, detailed instructions, a few ingredients, and most importantly, a couple of minutes, these addictive pickled avocados will be ready to go straight to your tummy.
Once you try this recipe, you will repeat it over and over again, especially if you love pickles. I said this statement in my pickled onions post, and I am repeating it here because I am confident about it. Imagine having a delicious condiment with 15 minutes of preparation time and 3 hours of pickling time. Yes, it is that quick and that easy.
If you want the best results from this pickled avocado recipe, then you need to use unripe – not so hard – avocado. Remember, when we say pickles, we mean softer texture with additional flavor. Therefore, overripe avocados risk becoming creamy as they start pickling.
If you have gone through my website and read some blogs, then you must have read somewhere that my recipes include only natural preservatives. Hence, though we are preserving these avocados, we are not going to preserve them forever. In real scenarios, this addictive pickled avocado lasts for a month in a mason jar or air-tight container in the fridge. That is only going to happen if you will resist adding them to your meal. In our household, they don’t last more than 10 days, they’re simply eaten.
For this recipe, you will need 2 unripe avocados, water, distilled white vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, and chili pepper.
With these ingredients, you will be able to create a tangy brine that will result in flavorful addictive pickled avocado.
First, prepare your container: By container here, I mean either a mason jar or an air-tight container. These two types of containers are the best for pickling.
Second, prepare the brine: You need to combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a saucepan and boil them over medium heat. Then let the brine cool before using it.
Third, slice the avocados: As the brine cools, start peeling off the avocados and slicing them. I prefer the medium slice size; however, the size is up to you. On another note, I suggest avoiding slicing them thinly as they will become very loose and overripe once pickled.
Finally combine the ingredients: Add the avocado slices, cayenne pepper, and garlic in the jar, and cover them with the brine. Close the lid and transfer the jar to the fridge for 3 hours.
When it comes to this addictive pickled avocado, the list is long:
