Hibiscus leaf pickle...

7 years ago

Since I was complaining about confusing recipes I just wanted to report on my results. Here is the recipe I used...

This is is delicious! A spicy tangy addition to rice. I ended up using fewer chilies and I had some extra hibiscus leaves which I added. It is still plenty spicy.


If I make it again I would cut back on the peppers, remove the leaf stems more carefully and chop the leaves finer. The leaf stems crumbled fine when I dried them but they are too stick like here.


Chilies are another of those those ingredients that are tricky. What kind? What size? How hot?


I doubled the recipe and have plenty to freeze for winter meals. This is definitely my favorite use of my overabundance so far.
