Giardiniera in a glass jar

Giardiniera

Giardiniera is a classic Italian pickled vegetable mix, known for its tangy, spicy flavors and crunchy texture. This delicious condiment has been enjoyed in Italy for centuries and is a staple in both Italian and American cuisine. Traditionally, giardiniera is served with sandwiches, antipasti, or as a topping for pizzas and hot dogs. The key to a great giardiniera lies in the balance of salt, vinegar, and oil, which preserves the vegetables while enhancing their natural flavors. A pro tip: If you prefer a milder version, reduce the chili flakes, or for extra spice, add fresh sliced jalapeños!

    Elkészítési Lépések

    1

    Wash and chop the cauliflower, carrots, celery, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.

    Make sure all the vegetables are cut to roughly the same size for even pickling.

    2

    In a large bowl, dissolve the salt in water and add the chopped vegetables. Let them soak overnight in the refrigerator.

    This brining step helps to draw out moisture from the vegetables, making them crisper in the final product.

    3

    Drain the vegetables and rinse them well under cold water.

    Rinsing removes excess salt, preventing the giardiniera from being too salty.

    4

    In a saucepan, bring the vinegar to a boil, then pour it over the drained vegetables. Let them sit for 15 minutes.

    The hot vinegar helps to soften the vegetables slightly and infuse them with flavor.

    5

    Finely chop the garlic and mix it with the vegetables, along with oregano and red chili flakes.

    Adjust the amount of red chili flakes to your desired level of spiciness.

    6

    Transfer the mixture into sterilized jars and top with olive oil to fully cover the vegetables.

    Sterilizing the jars ensures a longer shelf life. The olive oil acts as a sealant and helps to preserve the vegetables.

    7

    Seal the jars and let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 days before consuming. The flavor will intensify over time.

    The longer the giardiniera sits, the more the flavors will meld together. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
