Michael Jordan's One Day Pickle
- 1 lb okra; halved lengthwise
- 6 tablespoon(s) salt, kosher
- 1 1/2 cup(s) rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup(s) water
- 1 tablespoon(s) sugar
- 10 black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon(s) mustard seeds
- 1/2 pound(s) onion(s); sliced (thinly)
Toss the okra with 3 tablespoons kosher salt and let it sit in a colander for 1 hour over the sink to drain. Combine the vinegar, water, remaining salt, sugar, peppercorns, and mustard seeds in a non-reactive pot. When the okra has drained for 1 hour, rinse it thoroughly and let it drain. Bring the liquid mixture (brine) to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes. Place the okra and the onions in a non-reactive storage container, and pour the hot liquid over it. Stir occasionally until it cools, and refrigerate overnight. Will keep for 1 month in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
