Green Tomato Pickles

By Bellacucinam

Ingredients

• 3 small, green (unripe) tomatoes (12 ounces), cored
• 1 medium white onion
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup white wine vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Using a mandoline, very thinly slice the green tomatoes and white onion. Layer the slices in a heatproof 4-cup measuring cup. In a small saucepan, combine the water with the vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Pour the hot brine over the tomatoes and onion and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, then drain and serve.
