Pickled vegetables are great with everything, especially these wagyu beef burgers.

In this recipe, the salt draws out the water from the vegetables, creating a beautiful pickle flavour. These pickles are also great in sandwiches or sprinkled over a salad. They keep in the fridge for up to a month.
