Dilly Beans

Ingredients for Dilly Beans

• 100g coarse sea salt

• 900g small, tender green beans or yellow wax beans, trimmed

• 6 fresh dill sprigs

• 6 small garlic cloves, smashed

• 3 small dried red chillies (such as cayenne or chilli de árbol)

• 1 tablespoon dill seeds

• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed

Stir salt and 3.8L warm water in a large bowl until salt is dissolved. Let brine cool to room temperature.

Layer beans with remaining ingredients in a large ceramic, glass, or stainless-steel mixing bowl. Add brine to cover. Pour remaining brine into a resealable plastic bag; seal and place on beans to submerge. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let stand at room temperature until bubbles form around edge of bowl, 4-5 days.

Spoon off any foam from surface of brine. Continue to let stand at room temperature, discarding foam as necessary, until beans are pickled, about 2 weeks.

Using a slotted spoon, divide beans, herbs, and spices among 3 clean 1-quart jars. Set a strainer with 2 layers of cheesecloth over a large pitcher; pour brine through strainer. Pour over beans in jars, leaving 1/2" space on top. Cover; chill up to 2 months.
