Achards réunionnais

Achards réunionnais are a vegetable preparation associated with Réunion. Carrots, green beans, cabbage and cucumber are cut into thin strips; cauliflower can also be included. The vegetables are briefly cooked in oil, leaving some firmness. Onion, garlic and ginger add flavor, while turmeric colors the mixture.^[1]

Vinegar or lemon juice provides acidity. Chili is optional, so the preparation need not be hot. The dressed vegetables are served as a starter or alongside other dishes.^[1]
