Zucchini sliced fresh, dropped into apple cider vinegar with onion, mustard seed and turmeric, and enough sugar to hold the line between sweet and sharp. It went out onto a stall at Coburg Farmers Market and people came back for it — then kept coming back. This is the jar that gets hidden at the back of the fridge so nobody else finds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet up front, golden and turmeric-warm, with the onion sitting just underneath. The apple cider vinegar arrives in the middle and cuts a clean line through it. The finish is mustard seed — those little pops of heat-free bite — and a savoury celery-seed hum that keeps you going back for the next slice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to cook with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePat a few slices dry on paper towel before they hit the burger.
