Notes & tips
You could keep the pickles in the fridge for several days.
The easiest way to peel garlic is to smash it: put a clove of garlic on a cutting board, put your chef’s knife on top of it so the blade side lays on the clove, and hit the side of the knife with your hand. Now you could peel the clove.
This recipe is based on Darra Goldstein’s book “Beyond the North Wind”.
