By Jeannette Ordas of Everybody likes Sandwiches I love making quick pickles, quickles for short. And the last time I made some for Poppytalk readers was way back in 2009! Let’s remedy that, stat. Okay? Okay. One of the easiest vegetables to wrangle right now is zucchini. My farm share is going nutso with it and besides living on zucchini bread (which is a nice way to live, by the way), I’ve got to mix things up. So I’m making these sweet and sour zucchini pickles from the Zuni Cafe. The best thing about them – well besides being mighty tasty on an open-face hummus sandwich or slipped into a burger – is that they take 1 day from making to eating. Super easy! And, I might add, they turn a bright chartreuse colour because of the turmeric. A little public service announcement about turmeric: it stains. So don’t wear your nicest white blouse while making these. Some notes about the recipe. I had a lot of brine leftover and I think you could bump up the amount of zucchini from 1 pound…
