Vegetable Escabeche


  • Author: Keith Recker

Description

A forkful of tender meat completed with a crisp bite of pickled vegetables stirs something primal in us. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 16-oz glass jars with lids
  • 3 tsp peppercorns (or gochujang pepper)
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced
  • 3 bunches radishes, sliced (julienned kohlrabi is a delicious substitute)
  • 3 jalapeños, sliced & seeds removed
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 9 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme or oregano
  • 1 tbsp organic sugar or piloncillo (raw pure cane sugar)
  • 1 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup distilled vinegar
  • 2 cups water


Instructions

  1. In each jar, place 1 teaspoon of peppercorns.
  2. Pack each jar with carrots, radishes, and jalapeños, tucking in a bay leaf, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and a sprig of fresh thyme or oregano into each jar. Look for ways to press these visually stunning ingredients close to the sides of the jars for shelf-appeal.
  3. Bring vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Pour liquid into jars and let cool to room temperature sealing. Store in refrigerator for at least a day, and up to a month.
