<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nLast week my CSA gave me half a cauliflower as a bonus, and I had a drawer full of carrots so my mind immediately jumped to Giardiniera, an easy Italian mixed vegetable pickle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like your mixed vegetable pickles even hotter try this Hot Mixed Pickle Recipe<\/a>. Or maybe try some Do Chua<\/a>, a simple Vietnamese pickle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some versions of Giardiniera cut the carrots into long sticks more like cucumber pickles and some cut the vegetables into small bits like a relish. As you can see from the photo, I split the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n Do not be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. This is a simple mix of vegetables, a brine of vinegar. sugar and salt plus some aromatic spices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can mix and match the vegetables and spices as you fit. I made mine a bit on the mild side with jalapeno peppers, but if you like the extra hot Chicago-style Giardiniera<\/strong>, use a hotter pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For food safety, do not alter the ratio of water, vinegar, sugar and salt. <\/p>\n\n\n Head to the continent with these delightfully simple European recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div>\n![\"vegetables](\"https:\/\/thatrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/giradiniera-vegetables.png\")
