If you prefer to carry the heat, this is the relish for you! Warning, you may possibly catch yourself assembling excuses to fasten this on everything you eat. I am captivated with this relish. When I initially prepared it, I devoured it right out of the jar. My popular use for it is folded in a pita with hummus and alfalfa sprouts. The promises this relish offers are immeasurable; sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheese and crackers, eggs, use your imagination. It resembles loveliness in a jar therefore making it an excellent gift. Now, if the heat intensity intimidates you just decrease the amount of peppers in the recipe. This relish is highly versatile, so I encourage you to try it then mold it to your personal appetite.
HOT Italian Gardiniera
2 red bell peppers
6 fresh jalapenos
4-5 hot wax peppers
2 stalks celery
4 medium carrots
1 medium onion
1/2 head cauliflower
1/2 C salt
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 T oregano
1 t crushed red pepper
1 t black pepper
1 C white vinegar
2 C canola oil
water
Dice all vegetables and garlic very finely (small enough to be a relish on a sandwich). In a bowl dissolve salt and enough water to cover all veggies, add veggies. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Rinse veggies in cold water. Be sure to rinse thoroughly, so that the salt is diminished. Pack them tightly in mason jars. In a bowl whisk oil, vinegar, oregano, crushed rep pepper, and black pepper. Evenly distribute liquid amongst jars.
Refrigerate, the veggies will stay fresh for up to a month. This recipe makes about 2 quarts.
Until tomorrow...Peace.
