Time 45m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 onion, sliced thinly (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
5 large jalapenos, cut into 1/8-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, 2/3 cup water, onions, salt, peppercorns and coriander in a small pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Put the jalapenos in a heatproof 1-pint jar and pour the hot pickling mixture over them. Allow them to sit and soak up the flavor for 30 minutes up to overnight-the longer they sit, the more they will soften and absorb flavor. Stored in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 1 month.

PICKLED JALAPEñOS



Pickled Jalapeños image

Ask any Mexican if they have pickled jalapeños in their pantry, and the answer is usually a resounding yes. More than a condiment, they are an absolute necessity. Incredibly versatile, they can be tucked into tacos, quesadillas and sandwiches, mixed into tuna salads or eggs for omelets, or served as garnishes, crowning nachos, hot dogs and pizzas. The tangy brine, which can be used to punch up any vinaigrette, tames the heat of the chiles. There are countless store-bought options - and people tend to be loyal to particular brands - but pickling your own is easy, and allows you to customize to taste, altering the vegetable ratios, herbs or sugar content. Inspired by fruit-based vinegars available in the Mexican countryside, this version combines white distilled vinegar with natural rice vinegar, adding a dose of sweetness.

Categories     pickles, vegetables

Time 12h15m

Yield 6 to 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 ounces white pearl onions (or trimmed spring onion bulbs)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 pound whole jalapeños (stems intact)
1/2 pound medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
5 dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
5 whole cloves, stems removed and discarded, rounded tops crushed between fingertips
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet or a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until their outer layer begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until it barely begins to turn golden. Incorporate the jalapeños and carrots, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a couple times, until the jalapeño skins begin to slightly dull and wrinkle.
  • Stir in all remaining ingredients and simmer briskly for about 7 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the vegetables soften. Turn off the heat and let cool.
  • Transfer the pickled vegetables and their liquid into a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. (They will last for at least 1 month.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm jalapeños and onions. This will ensure that your pickles are crispy and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of colors of peppers to add visual appeal to your pickles. Red, yellow, and orange jalapeños all work well.
  • Be sure to trim the stems and seeds from the jalapeños before pickling them. This will help to reduce the heat level of the pickles.
  • Use a clean, sterilized jar to store your pickles. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • Store your pickles in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating them. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Pickled jalapeños and onions are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor and heat to a variety of dishes. They are also a great way to preserve fresh jalapeños and onions. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own pickled jalapeños and onions at home.
