Dilly Green Beans
Lots of meals start with Salatim in our home; small salads like baba ganoush, hummus, veggies & dip, & pickles. I quick pickle different veggies as the mood hits &, as is often the case, based on what looks good at a market. You can find my Daikon Radish Quick Pickle recipe on The Feed Feed from 2016, by the way. While we have played around with pickles, I tend to make our family’s standard Dilly Pickled Carrots or Green Beans for every holiday. Thanksgiving? Check. Hanukkah? Check. Is it someone’s birthday? I totally would make pickles for that kid.
My husband makes the exotic pickles – veggies with lemon peels, spicy peppers, Juniper Berries. He’s are wild & wonderful & super inventive. Feel free to play with this recipe & bring your style to your quick pickles.
I made these Quick Pickled Dilly Green Beans recently & wanted to have them up on my blog so that you could make them for your holidays. They will be served along with a few other starters in front of a much bigger meal. May whatever you are celebrating be bright & flavorful!
Ingredients
1 Lb Fresh Green Beans
1 Teaspoon Whole Coriander Seeds
1/2 Teaspoon Table Salt
1 Bunch Fresh Dill
4 cups Distilled White Vinegar
Instructions
1
Fill large sauté pan halfway with water & heat until boiling.
2
Have 2, clean, quart-sized wide mouth Canning Jars with lids ready.
3
Trim ends off of green beens.
4
Place trimmed green beans into boiling water & cook for 3-4 minutes or until color changes in beans.
5
Make an ice water bath in a medium sized bowl.
6
Shock green beans by placing hot beans into ice mixture.
7
Divide fresh dill into 4 handfuls, removing some of the stems so that the handfuls will fit into the jars.
8
Rest canning jars on side. Add one bunch of fresh dill to the jar & 1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds to each jar.
9
Rest 1/2 of the green beans on dill in each jar.
10
Top green beans with a handful of fresh dill and turn jars right-side up.
11
Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to each jar.
12
Fill each jar halfway up with regular distilled vinegar (you are welcome to experiment with other vinegars!).
13
Fill jars with water leaving a 1/2 or so gap at the top so that the lid does not touch the pickling liquid or a random piece of dill.
14
Put the lids on the jars and set them in the fridge for a few days.

Ta Dah! You’re Done!
