    What vegetables can be pickled using sous vide?

    Any vegetable that you would pickle using a refrigerator or canning method can be pickled using the sous vide method. For this recipe I am going to pickle a combination of:

    • green beans
    • pearl onions
    • bell peppers, orange and yellow
    • cauliflower flouters
    • baby carrots
    • radishes

    What type of container should you sous vide the vegetables in?

    I am using glass quart canning jars for this recipe but you can also use a freezer zip top bag or even a vacuum seal bag. I like the glass jar because they are able to be stored in the pantry when cooled and they make for a lovely gift. But if I am in a hurry or don't worry about presentation, I will use a freezer zip top bag.

    Let's talk about pickled vegetable brine.

    A pickled vegetable gets pickled from spending time in a brine of vinegar, salt, water and flavors. The acidity of the vinegar needs to be 5% and most vinegars found in the grocery stores are at 5% but be sure by checking the label. The reason you need to have the vinegar at 5% acidity is that food pathogens can’t grow below 4.0 pH and the pH of 5% vinegar is 2.6. So the combination of the 5% vinegar and the sous vide cooking, your pickled vegetables are shelf stable.

    This brine that I use also has sugar, bay leaf, dill weed, peppercorns, mustard seeds, red pepper flake and salt. You can adjust this recipe to your tastes easily. Making your own special recipe of pickled vegetables is a lot of fun.

    How long at what temperature?

    Sous vide cooking is all about specific time and temperature. When cooking pickled vegetables using sous vide you want a lower temperature at a longer time. I like 150 for 2 hours. But if you want a jar to seal properly, cook at 180 but cook for 1 hour.
