About Achard de légumes
Achards de légumes are a Réunion Creole vegetable accompaniment that can also be served as a starter. This tourism-board recipe combines carrot, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower and cucumber.
Garlic, ginger and turmeric give the vegetables an aromatic warmth, while vinegar supplies sharpness. Chilli is optional, so the heat depends on whether it is included.
The vegetables are finely cut and only lightly softened, retaining a firm bite. Their varied shapes and colours make this a lively side dish alongside a main meal.
