Pickled Jalapeños And Carrots Recipes

TAQUERIA-STYLE PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the jalapenos and carrots to ¼ inch thick, discarding the stems. A mandolin is great for this to achieve uniform slices.
• Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the jalapeno and carrot slices. Cook them, stirring a bit, for 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, oregano and peppercorns. Stir and cook another minute, until you can smell the garlic.
• Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a quick boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cool, then transfer to a jar.

PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Bring vinegar and sugar to a slight simmer, just to dissolve the sugar. Add remaining ingredients and steep for 1 hour.
• Remove from heat, let cool and store in airtight container.

TAQUERIA STYLE PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Give the jalapenos a rinse and then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Peel the carrots and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Peel and quarter the onion, chopping into thin slices. Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
• Heat a glug of oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes.
• Add the spices: 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 8-10 black peppercorns. I usually give the spices a quick crush in the molcajete but this is optional. And feel free to use powdered spices if you don't have seeds or peppercorns on hand.
• Add the jalapenos and carrots. Briefly saute and then add 1.5 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt, and 1 bay leaf (optional). Simmer until the jalapenos are just turning army green in color.
• Fill two pint-sized Mason jars with the veggies and fill to the brim with the vinegar mixture. You can also use a single quart-sized Mason jar. You can give them a taste test now for a preview, but they won't have full flavor until they rest overnight in the brine.
• I usually let the jars cool on the counter for a bit, then cap and store in the fridge where they will keep for weeks at a time.

Remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups sliced carrots, 6 sliced jalapenos and 1/2 sliced red onion. Let sit 1 hour, stirring occasionally and pressing the vegetables down with a rubber spatula to submerge. Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 3 hours.

BEST PICKLED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• In clean sterilized jars, place the olive oil, oregano, garlic and carrots and onions (optional).
• Mix the brine ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Pack your peppers (and other vegetables) in jars to 3/4 full (peppers will expand).
• Pour boiling brine over the peppers within 1/2" from the top.
• Seal by hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Let jars sit for 3 weeks for the best flavor.
• NOTE: The amount of peppers is not given here. It all depends on how many peppers you can stuff into a jar, and how many jars you will be making. I think I used 1# or maybe 1 1/2# for this amount of ingredients.

FRIED PICKLED JALAPEñOS WITH ZESTY LIME RANCH

Steps:

• Drain peppers and reserve 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon of brine from the jar. Pat peppers dry with paper towels.
• Combine sour cream, ranch seasoning, the zest and juice of the lime, and one teaspoon of reserved jalapeño liquid. Stir well and set aside. This could be made up to 3 days ahead.
• Pour oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together flour, taco seasoning, remaining reserved jalapeño juice, and water in a shallow dish until smooth. Toss dried jalapeños in cornstarch until lightly coated and shake off any excess. Coat slices in flour mixture with a fork and allow the excess to drip off.
• Add several coated slices to the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain and repeat with remaining jalapeños, in batches. Serve immediately with ranch dip.
