Servings: persons

1 cauliflower
2 handfuls green beans
1 red pepper diced
1 onion diced
2 teaspoons salt
250 milliliters white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons mustard seed
3 ounces caster (superfine) sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
4 teaspoons mustard powder

1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and the green beans into 1cm lengths. Combine all the veg in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt and leave for 12 hours.
2
Put the veg in a pan with the vinegar, 250ml water the turmeric, ginger and mustard seed (pour off any salty water first and a stainless steel pan is best).
3
Cover, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins, no longer really, as you want the cauliflower to keep its crunch. Drain the liquid into a colander set over a bowl, reserving your vegetables.
4
Put the liquid back in the pan with the sugar. Bring to the boil, while stirring to dissolve the sugar. Put the flour and mustard powder into a big bowl adding 75ml of water to make a paste. Pour in the boiling liquid whisking all the while.
5
Return it to the pan stirring on a low heat until it boils. Remove and stir in the vegetables. Allow to cool and spoon into sterilized jars.
