First things first, go ahead and prep all your vegetables. You want that cabbage nice and shredded, your peppers thinly sliced, your carrots shredded, and don’t forget those onions (trust me, don’t skip them like I almost did)
Once everything is prepped, toss all your vegetables into a large bowl. Give it a light mix just to evenly distribute everything.
In a blender, add your lime juice, lemon juice, vinegar, scotch bonnet peppers (or habanero), and a pinch of salt. Blend everything until it’s smooth and fully combined.
Next, pour that bold, spicy sauce all over your vegetables. Don’t be shy—get it all in there.
Now mix everything really well. You want every piece of cabbage and carrot coated in that flavorful liquid.
Once mixed, transfer your pikliz into a jar or airtight container and pop it into the fridge. Let it sit overnight so it can soak up all that goodness.
The next day? That’s when it really hits. Give it a quick mix and it’s ready to serve.
