Pickled Carrots With Jalapenos Food

TAQUERIA-STYLE PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the jalapenos and carrots to ¼ inch thick, discarding the stems. A mandolin is great for this to achieve uniform slices.
• Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the jalapeno and carrot slices. Cook them, stirring a bit, for 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, oregano and peppercorns. Stir and cook another minute, until you can smell the garlic.
• Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a quick boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cool, then transfer to a jar.

TAQUERIA STYLE PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Give the jalapenos a rinse and then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Peel the carrots and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Peel and quarter the onion, chopping into thin slices. Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
• Heat a glug of oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes.
• Add the spices: 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 8-10 black peppercorns. I usually give the spices a quick crush in the molcajete but this is optional. And feel free to use powdered spices if you don't have seeds or peppercorns on hand.
• Add the jalapenos and carrots. Briefly saute and then add 1.5 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt, and 1 bay leaf (optional). Simmer until the jalapenos are just turning army green in color.
• Fill two pint-sized Mason jars with the veggies and fill to the brim with the vinegar mixture. You can also use a single quart-sized Mason jar. You can give them a taste test now for a preview, but they won't have full flavor until they rest overnight in the brine.
• I usually let the jars cool on the counter for a bit, then cap and store in the fridge where they will keep for weeks at a time.
