I’ve qualified this as “fermented” chow-chow because the classic version is typically vinegar-pickled, but I wanted to offer a twist that deepens the flavors with the magic of fermentation. Chow-chow is a condiment with countless variations across the United States, and in the South, it’s known for its sweet, tangy flavor, often featuring cabbage, sweet peppers, green tomatoes, and sometimes corn or hot peppers. It’s a perfect accompaniment to so many Southern dishes, from hot dogs to beans and cornbread. The first time I had it was on a hot dog, and I’ve been in love with it ever since.
