The Best Giardinera

Having a giardinera in the fridge handy is a great resource. Giardiera can be used on Italian sandiwiches, sausages and also charcuterie boards. There are many varieties of giardinera, but having a mix of hot peppers and olives is a true enhancement to the relish. For this recipe we will be using Thai chiles as well, but traditionally jalapeños are used.

For the giardinera

1 carrot peeled and diced

1 rib of celery diced

2 cloves of garlic minced

10 Thai chiles, crushed or minced(you can combine this with the garlic in a food processor or by hand)

1/2 cauliflower

1/2 cup chopped Spanish green olives

1 cup distillled white vinegar

3 tablespoons of salt

3 tablespoons of olive oil

Bring vinegar and salt to a boil. Meanwhile, combine all other vegetables in a bowl. When vinegar comes to a boil, pour over vegetables. Add olive oil and mix. Place in a jar.
