Piccalilli
Categories: British cuisine | Condiments | Pickles
Piccalilli is a mustard pickle, which generally contains gherkins, cauliflower and onions, but may contain virtually any type of vegetable. The vegetables are cut to small pieces, blanched and covered with a mixture of mustard, vinegar, salt, sugar and spices, such as turmeric, which is responsible for the bright yellow colour of many piccalillis.
Piccalilli mixed with mayonnaise or crème fraîche is often the basis of remoulade, a popular condiment in Denmark.
