pickled turnips
Fermented purple vegetables
Pickled turnips are turnips preserved in a brine of vinegar, salt, and spices.
In Middle Eastern cuisine, they're typically colored bright pink by adding beets to the jar: The shawarma came with pickled turnips on the side.
They add crunch and acidity to kebabs, falafel, and mezze spreads.
