Pickled Chili Peppers

Red, Green & Yellow Chili Peppers / Jalapenos - 8, cut into thin rounds

Carrot - 1/4, peeled and thinly sliced

Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced

Rice / White vinegar - 1 cup

Water - 1 cup

Garlic - 1 clove, peeled and lightly crushed

Sea salt - 1 tbsp.

Sugar - 1 tbsp

Dried oregano - 1/2 tsp

Black peppercorns - 10, lightly crushed

Bay leaf - 1

 

Heat the vinegar in a steel saucepan with the water, garlic, salt, sugar, oregano, peppercorns, and bay leaf until simmering, and the salt and sugar are dissolved.

Add the chilies, carrots, and onions. Cook in the pan for a minute, then cover, remove from heat, and let it stand for 15 minutes.

Pour the mixture into jars, close them, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Storage: The pickles will keep for at least a month in the refrigerator, and will start to lose kick after that.
