  • Fermenting maestro Brade Leone is back with the next episode of It's Alive and this time he's turned his pickling attention to the venerable avocado. One of the best parts about Brad's method is it calls for unripened avocados, meaning there's no fussing around waiting for the perfect consistency. Just a few ingredients and a little patience yields a jar of pickled avocado goodness, ready to add a kick to any dish.

    Chemist here: For salt, boiling or no boiling makes no difference at all. When you dissolve certain things, they might dissolve more and faster in hot water (sugar or caffeine, for example). But not salt. The dissolution of NaCl in cold water is practically the same as in hot water. So if you are boiling water to dissolve more salt and faster, you are just wasting energy. The good thing is that NaCl dissolves pretty quickly anyway, :)

    Okay, I made this recipe on Tuesday night and had it for breakfast today morning (Friday). I added Sichuan peppercorns, paprika, turmeric but stuck with most of the same ingredients.
    I used the pickled avocados (with about 50% ripe avocados) in an egg salad sandwich. I added a bit of Sriracha, and it was delicious. Such a vivid flavour combo.

    Brad has such a fun & experimental approach to cooking, I think it would an interesting series to intentionally seek out ingredients/techniques that he personally finds scary (assuming even chefs still find some food intimidating).
