  • How To Cook:
    1. Combine the vinegar and salt in a deep bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until the salt dissolves.

    2. Add the celery, carrots, turnips, zucchini and cauliflower, and turn them about to coat them well.

    3. With a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to two 1-quart canning jars, dividing the mixture evenly between them.

    4. Pour the brine into the jars, cover tightly with lids, and let the vegetables pickle at room temperature for 5 days before serving.

    5. They may then be kept for 2 or 3 weeks, either in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

    6. Meh-lakh is usually served as an accompaniment to aperitifs.
