How To Make garlicky marinated vegetables
-
1Once you saved enough of the juice from the pickles “ I freeze it till I know I have enough” put the juice into a large soup pot and set aside.
-
2Pull the carrots and green beans out to defrost, you won't need to par cook these.
-
3In a separate pot put enough water in the pot so you can par-boil the cauliflower and broccoli.
-
4While you are waiting for the water to come to a rolling boil “you won’t need to salt the water “cut the heads off the cauliflower and broccoli.
-
5Get 2 large bowl’s of ice water to stop the cooking. Once the water is boiling, cook the cauliflower, for no more than 30 -45 seconds, remove and put into the ice water to stop the cooking.
-
6Then next do the broccoli for about 20 – 30 seconds and remove from the water and put in a separate ice water bath.

7Get the pickle juice warm “not hot “by simmering on the stove. Once it starts to simmer turn off the stove.
-
8Drain the par-boiled vegetables on paper towels.
