FOR THE PICKLED VEGETABLES

TO MAKE THE PICKLED VEGETABLES: Mix all the pickling ingredients together and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the vegetables - capsicum, cucumber and bok choy. Refrigerate for at least six hours.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve the hot barbecued quail with salad greens and pickled vegetables.
