A woman with a penchant for pickling, Freddie Janssen knows so much about these delicious things she could write an entire book about them — and, in actual fact, she has. It’s aptly name Pickled, and is precisely where this recipe comes from.

Freddie says, ‘You can find these pickles at pretty much every taqueria and taco stand in Yucatán, Mexico. They’re super easy to make and are a great addition to tacos, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs as well as fresh seafood.’
