CARROTS: Peel the carrots and cut them into halves. In a casserole put water and the half teaspoon of salt. Cook the carrots over high heat. When they are soft, drain and let them cool down.
ONIONS: Cut the ends off the onions. In a casserole put water and the half teaspoon of salt. Cook the onions over high heat for ten minutes. Then drain and let cool down.

STRING BEANS: Wash the string beans very well, remove the ends and ribbings. Cook them in boiling water for half an hour more or less, or until they are soft. Add the salt once they are cooked. Drain, and let cool down.
CAULIFLOWER: Cut the head of the cauliflower into small pieces. Cook them in boiling water with the salt. Let cook for half an hour or until they are soft. Drain, and let cool down.
In a dry frying pan, toast the black pepper seeds until fragrant.
Mix all cooked vegetables and put them in a large pickle jar or split between multiple smaller jars.
Add the toasted pepper seeds and pour in the vinegar until covering the vegetables.
Close the jar and let stand for two or three days before consuming.
