About

In the Caribbean, pickle is a cold, salty, acidic sauce that’s ordinarily added to meat and vegetables. It’s easy to make. Just grate everything, and in a few minutes you’re done. Pickle has no recipe per se. Adjust the seasoning to suit your own tastes, using this recipe as a guide. My favorite food to use as a base for pickle is green bananas because they suck up all the flavor; my second favorite is breadfruit. Feel free to put this pickle on any root vegetables.
