Pickled Vegetables.
I keep a big jar of pickled vegetables on the go. I keep adding grilled / dried tomatoes, olives, muchrooms, peppers, cabage, artichoke; all the vegetables you would find in an antipasto, to a big jar. If the vegetable are already in brine I drain it off and keep the whole lot topped up with home brand olive oil. Every now and again toss in a coarsely chopped knob of raw garlic. The idea is to use it for vegetables as they get a bit limp, grill them lightly then add to the brew, to preserve them for a few weeks, but to keep using it and replenishing it so it doesn't get stale. Try to keep the water content to a minimum with dried ingrediants. Go easy on salt and sugar. You can get rid of excess sweet chilli sauce / plum sauce / but be careful not to over whelm it. A dash of vinegar now and again.
