Pickled Chillies - by Chef Girija Pickled chillien/ jalapenos are a tasty addition to many meals, and they’re quick and easy to make at home, ready in 10 minutes. Top your tacos, nachos and so much more! You won’t believe how easy it is to make your own pickled chillies at home. They’re crunchy, tangy, sweet, spicy and very addictive. Ingredients Ingredients 8-10 green chilli, sliced( refer to video ) 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup water 1 clove garlic smashed 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt Method ⁃ First, slice your batch of jalapeno peppers into rings and discard the stems. ⁃ Next, add the following to a large pot: 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, few cloves smashed garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. You can use other seasonings like peppercorns or bayleaf. ⁃ Next, bring to a boil. Cool slightly. ⁃ In a clean glass jar, add the chopped chillies. Pack them up well. ⁃ Pour the hot brine solution till all the chillies are submerged. ⁃ Let it cool down to room temperature before closing the lid. ⁃ Store in fridge. I like to let mine sit in the refrigerator a good week before enjoying them. The brine and seasonings penetrate the chilli slices more deeply, resulting in greater flavor. ⁃ Other popular ingredients include cumin seeds, dried basil, mustard seeds, coriander, ginger, allspice, chili flakes and more. So many choices and ways to personalize your pickles. Pickled chillies will last for several weeks in the refrigerator, easily up to 3 months or longer. Vinegar and salt act as a preservative, letting the pickled chillies keep for longer. Aside from topping nachos and tacos with your peppers, try them out on pizzas, as burger toppings, piles onto grilled hot dogs, brats or sausages, and scattered onto sandwiches. Happy cooking!
