Pickling in Your Home Pickling in Your Home

While most of us get our pickles from the grocery aisle and never really think about what kind variety there is out there, this is quite a shame, because pickles are easy, and with a little bit of thought, can be interesting and unique as well as delicious! There was a time when pickling was one of the best ways to preserve food, but with better shipping available, it fell out of favor. Today, you will mostly find pickles in the form of cucumbers that have been made into bread and butter slices or mixed with dill, but the truth is, there are many different types of pickles that you might be interested in.

Despite their mentions in various media and cookbooks, it is unfortunate that broad beans, also known as fava beans, tic beans and field beans are not nearly as well known in the United States as they should be. They are widely eaten in North African cuisine and they are found in many different types of dishes in southeast Asia, and as might be expected from such an impressively well-traveled plant, can be quite versatile when it comes to what dishes you can use them in and how you can eat them.
