SPICY PICKLING

ASSEMBLY:

Step 1

Clean and slice your cucumbers (remember then are going on a sandwich)

Step 2

Add them to a bowl and salt them with 1 tablespoon of salt. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to extract the water

*NOTE - if you feel like your butter is melting or not as cold as it was when you started, stop and put it in the fridge. I know it takes longer but it would be worse if you did all that work for it not to come out right in the baking process!

Step 3

In another bowl; add cabbage slices, sliced jalapenos, salt, cayenne, red pepper flakes, paprika, allspice, cumin, and grapeseed oil.

Incorporate well.

Step 4

Add cucumbers into the mixture, try to get as little liquid out of the bowl as possible.Fold cucumbers inAdd Black pepper

At least 30 minutes however, the longer the fermentation the better.approx 3 days

MAYO

ASSEMBLY:

Step 1

Separate the yolks from the whites of your eggs.

Step 2

In a *mixing bowl, add your yolks, and begin whisking. REMEMBER - The goal of whisking is to not only mix/incorporate but also to add air, we aren't necessarily stirring to stir. The yolks will begin to not be loose and jiggle as you whisk.

Step 3

Add your *mustard, whisk, and make sure to incorporate well.

Here's the thing

- the mustard does two things: It cuts through the fat from the oil (grapeseed oil) and the fattiness of the egg yolks

Step 4

Add in the *grapeseed oil. When starting this needs to be done in the smallest increments at a time. I will not lie to you, when starting this will feel like it is taking foreverrrr.

But, I don't want you to focus on that! Pay attention to what is happening as you are adding the oil, Is it holding together? looking smooth and creamy? Or is it giving “oil and water don't mix”, because if it is you need to stop adding oil and focus on whisking.

Once you get ½ way through the oil, you can begin to incorporate the oil in faster increments.

Step 5

Once all the oil is added; you want to salt and pepper to taste

Step 6

Finish the Mayo off by adding the *vinegar. This will thin out your consistency, giving you a less yellowish color, and help add acidity
