Pickled Chili Peppers with Oil

Good afternoon! Recently, I had the good fortune of purchasing a diverse selection of hot peppers at an excellent price. I used a significant amount in my cooking, but I still had plenty left, so I decided to marinate some of them.

This method of preparation is one of my favorites because the flavors become incredible. The marinated peppers are versatile and can enhance many dishes. They are fantastic additions to an omelet, especially since I enjoy spicy food.

They also complement burgers and rice dishes nicely. Additionally, marinated peppers make for a delicious snack alongside drinks.

If you want to try this yourself, I recommend making three jars, each holding about 400 ml. You will need approximately 800 to 1000 grams of hot peppers for this recipe. Gather the following ingredients: 800 ml of water, 200 ml of apple cider vinegar, and 250 ml of vegetable oil.

You will also need a head of garlic, 8 to 10 bay leaves, black pepper, as well as 1 tablespoon each of allspice, 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar, 1 heaping tablespoon of salt, and a carrot.

To begin, cut off the ends of the peppers. Next, dice the carrot into small pieces. In a pot, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the spices, salt, and sugar, stirring well. Then, pour in the vinegar and vegetable oil. Add the garlic and diced carrots to the pot, and allow everything to come to a boil again with the lid on.

After the mixture has boiled, carefully add the prepared hot peppers. Blanch the peppers for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring gently to ensure even cooking. Once they are blanched, use tongs to transfer the peppers into sterilized jars.

Be sure to include some garlic, carrots, and bay leaves in each jar for added flavor.

Next, pour the hot marinade over the peppers until the jars are full. Seal the jars tightly by rolling them up. To ensure the jars cool properly, wrap them in a blanket and let them sit until they reach room temperature. Finally, store the jars in a cool place.

Your delicious marinated hot peppers are ready to enjoy!
