Atsara na Pipino - Food with Mae 3

Atsara na Pipino

Easy Pickled Cucumber Perfect as a Side Dish or Condiment

Atsara or Atchara is a popular pickled side dish or condiment on Filipino tables. It’s usually served with fried dishes or barbeque dishes. Atsara is traditionally made with green unripe papaya and sometimes with raisins. Some will make atsara with chillies and some will leave it plain.

Living in London, UK, it’s sometimes hard to find unripe papaya and it’s also very expensive to buy. I started experimenting using different vegetables to pickle. It turns out that you can pretty much pickle everything! Please follow here for my Papaya Atsara and here for my Easy Carrots Atsara. 

What I like about this recipe too is that I can eat the atsara straight away as a side dish or a condiment. It keeps really well too using hardy veggies in the fridge.
