Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 white onion, sliced
1 bay leaf
8 peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos
2 cups seedless green and red grapes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 onions, diced
7 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the vinegar and water to a boil, n a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, garlic, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Add jalapenos and grapes, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and refrigerate overnight in the pickling liquid.
  • To cook tortilla, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Whisk together eggs and milk in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the egg mixture over browned potatoes and onions. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until tortilla is set around edges, about 3 minutes. Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the tortilla is cooked through and firm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Slice and serve with the pickled grapes and carrots.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Select firm, young carrots with no blemishes or bruises for optimal pickling results.
  • Cut the carrots consistently: Uniformly sliced or julienned carrots ensure even cooking and pickling throughout.
  • Use a quality vinegar: Opt for a good quality vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, to impart the desired tanginess to the pickles.
  • Add flavor enhancers: Experiment with various spices, herbs, and aromatics like garlic, ginger, chili flakes, or mustard seeds to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Adjust the heat level: Control the spiciness by adjusting the amount of chili flakes or peppers used, catering to your preferred level of heat.
  • Sterilize the jars: Ensure proper hygiene by sterilizing the jars and lids in boiling water before filling them with the pickled carrots.
  • Allow sufficient pickling time: Patience is key! Let the pickled carrots rest for at least a few days or up to several weeks to develop their full flavor and texture.
