Zack recently tried his hand at homemade giardiniera, and the results were fantastic. This tastes so much fresher and crisper than store bought giardiniera - and it's super easy!
Ingredients
4 red cayenne peppers, diced
8 fresh jalapeno peppers, sliced
1 medium carrot, diced
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cauliflower florets
1/2 cup saltwater to cover
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup olive oil
Directions
Place into a bowl the cayenne peppers, jalapenos, carrots, onion, and cauliflower. Stir in salt, and fill with enough cold water to cover. Place plastic wrap or aluminum foil over the bowl, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, drain salty water, and rinse vegetables.
In a bowl, mix together garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Pour in vinegar and olive oil, and mix well. Combine with vegetable mixture, cover, and refrigerate for 2 days before using.
I will be making this FOR SURE!
