CHILES EN VINAGRE-ESCABECHE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pot. Add the carrots and saute for 3 minutes. Add the chiles and saute for 5-7 minutes or until the chiles begin to soften and turn color.
• Add in the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine and let cook for a few minutes.
• While you wait, mix the vinegar and water together. Season to taste with salt. Make sure you season well. If you like, you could add a little sugar, but I did not this time.
• Mix in the bay leaves and oregano. After a few minutes, pour in the liquid part. Bring up to a light boil and cook for 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let sit at room temperature overnight. Store cooled chiles in a glass container with a tight lid in your refrigerator. They will last for at least a month!

Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the vinegar, salt, bay leaves, oregano, marjoram, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
