Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
4 carrots, peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
4 inner celery ribs, cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 pound small fresh button mushrooms
1 jar (7 1/2 ounces) pepperoncini (pickled green peppers)
1 (3-ounce) can pitted black olives, drained
1 (5-ounce) jar pimiento stuffed Spanish olives, drained
1 (12-ounce) jar baby kosher dill pickles, drained and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 (7 1/2-ounce) jar pickled onions
1 (6 1/2-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (7-ounce) can imported olive oil packed tuna, drained
1 (2 ounce) tin anchovies with capers, drained
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
3/4 cup canned tomato sauce
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar, plus more for jars
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Cayenne pepper
Sea salt, preferably gray salt

Steps:

  • Place all of the prepared and drained vegetables in separate bowls and reserve their juices.
  • In a large saucepan, combine ketchup, Worcestershire, horseradish, tomato sauce, tarragon vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season, to taste, with salt.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Blanch the cauliflower for about 2 minutes; it should still be crisp. With a skimmer, transfer the florets to a tray to cool quickly. Repeat with the carrots and then with the celery, cooking them just long enough to remove their raw taste; they will be cooked more later. Add the white wine vinegar to the water and blanch the mushrooms for 1 minute (the vinegar will keep the mushrooms white). Drain and spread the mushrooms on a tray to cool quickly.
  • Add the cauliflower, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the sauce. Add the juices from the canned and jarred vegetables. Add the pepperoncini, olives, pickles, onions, and artichoke hearts and toss well.
  • In sterilized canning jars, place 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar (this will guarantee freshness). Load the sauced vegetables into the jar, using a wide-mouthed funnel to avoid a mess.
  • In one of the large pans that you have used, add olive oil, tuna, and anchovies and mix well. Top each jar with some of the tuna mixture. Cover and refrigerate, or allow to cool on the counter before serving. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Categories     Side Dish     Condiment

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small cauliflower head (about 1 pound)
3 celery ribs
1 red bell pepper (and/or yellow or green peppers)
6 carrots
1 onion (white or yellow)
1 3/4 cups white wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt (or other non-iodized, medium grain salt)
1 tablespoon sugar (or 2 teaspoons honey)
1 to 2 cloves garlic (peeled and lightly smashed)
1 bay leaf
Optional: 1 small, hot chile pepper
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
4 to 6 black peppercorns
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Wash the cauliflower, celery, and bell pepper. Remove the solid core from the cauliflower and break the rest up into approximately 1-inch florets.
  • Remove the stem, seeds, and any white pith from the red bell pepper. Chop the celery and pepper into 1-inch pieces. Alternatively, cut the peppers into strips.
  • Peel the carrots and chop them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Peel the onion and cut it in half. Cut the halves into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Combine the white wine vinegar, water, salt, and the sugar or honey in a large pot.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar or honey.
  • Add the vegetables to the brine and simmer them for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the garlic, hot chile pepper (if using), bay leaf, mustard seeds, and whole black peppercorns into a clean glass quart jar.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to the jar.
  • Pour the hot brine over the other ingredients. You want the vegetables and spices to be completely immersed in the liquid, but there should still be a 3/4-inch headspace between the surface of the brine and the rim of the jar.
  • Pour the extra-virgin olive oil on top of the brine. There should be just enough oil to completely cover the surface of the brine.
  • Refrigerate for at least one week before sampling.

ANTIPASTO



Antipasto image

This is a very old recipe and I have made it for years with no issues. But if you are in doubt, use a pressure canner. If there's enough acid added I don't think you need to pressure can but some newbies come along and "think" they are experts. :) This has to be one of the best antipasto recipes ever! The original recipe came from one of those cookbooks where everyone submits a recipe but it has been modified. The only reason for this is when my Dad and Sister were making it they weren't sure if you were supposed to drain the olives and pickled onions, ...they didn't and it came out great! The longer you can let it sit the better it taste. It is quite a costly recipe to make so what I do is buy the "sale" items throughout the year and make it up a bit before Christmas, that's why I'm posting it now---watch for sales :)

Categories     Tuna

Time 1h30m

Yield 28 Pints

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 (14 ounce) cans olives, ripe, sliced
3 (14 ounce) cans green olives, sliced
4 heads cauliflower florets, small
3 (12 ounce) jars pickled onions
3/4 cup olive oil
6 (10 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms
4 green peppers, chopped
5 (14 ounce) cans green beans, chopped
8 cups ketchup, Heinz (The large can at Costco is just the right size)
4 -5 shrimp, rings or 5 (6 ounce) cans shrimp
6 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water (I buy one big tuna can at Costco)
2 quarts dill pickles, chopped
3/4 cup white vinegar (see NOTE!!)

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in large pot. Boil 5 minutes.
  • Add next 4 ingredients, boil 10 minutes.
  • Add balance of ingredients. Try not to break up shrimp and tuna too much. Bring to just boiling.
  • Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
  • Note: *Drain everything except olives and pickled onion juice. Biffy and Frank's flub (taste great.) Omit vinegar.
  • Optional - small amount of brown sugar, HP sauce, chopped garlic, hot pepper sauce (dried or fresh) WE NEVER USE THESE.
  • Something sure has changed with Recipe Zaar! When trying to put the ingredients in it was a big pain in the butt for the sizes. I've converted the grams to ounces but I didn't have everything in my cupboard to actually look at so I guessed. But most cans come pretty standard, and the "Frozen Shrimp" is a large bag -- it wouldn't let me put just "large.".
