If you’ve ever tasted lampascioni, you’ll understand why preserving them in vinegar is a fantastic idea. These tiny, onion-like bulbs are native to Italy and offer a unique flavor that can elevate your dishes. Preserving them in vinegar allows you to enjoy their distinct taste year-round. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of preserving lampascioni in vinegar.

What You’ll Need

To get started, gather the following ingredients and tools:

  • Lampascioni bulbs
  • White wine vinegar
  • Water
  • Sea salt
  • Mason jars (sterilized)
  • Large saucepan
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Step 1: Cleaning and Preparing the Lampascioni Bulbs

Begin by cleaning the lampascioni bulbs thoroughly. Remove any dirt or debris by gently scrubbing them under water. Once clean, trim the roots and any excess stem from the bulbs using a knife and cutting board.

Step 2: Cooking the Lampascioni Bulbs

In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and carefully drop in the lampascioni bulbs. Let them boil for 2-3 minutes to remove the bitterness. Drain the bulbs and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3: Preparing the Vinegar Solution

In the same saucepan, combine equal parts white wine vinegar and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 4: Sterilizing the Jars

While the vinegar solution heats up, sterilize the Mason jars by placing them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Remove the jars and let them air dry or use a clean towel to dry them thoroughly.

Step 5: Packing the Jars

Once the jars are dry, pack them with the cooked lampascioni bulbs, ensuring there is enough room for the vinegar solution. Add a pinch of sea salt to each jar for flavor. Fill the jars with the hot vinegar solution, covering the bulbs completely.

Step 6: Sealing the Jars

Secure the jars with airtight lids, ensuring they are tightly closed. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks before consuming to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 7: Enjoying Preserved Lampascioni

Preserved lampascioni can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. Add them to salads, antipasti platters, or alongside roasted meats and vegetables. The preserved bulbs can last up to one year when stored properly in a cool and dark place.

Preserving lampascioni in vinegar is a wonderful way to enjoy their unique flavor long after the harvest season has passed. By following this step-by-step guide, you can savor the taste of lampascioni all year round. Get creative with how you incorporate these preserved bulbs into your dishes and elevate your culinary experiences.
