Easy quick pickled chillies
Description
This pickled chillies recipe involves placing sliced fresh chili peppers and bay leaves into a sterilized jar, then boiling a mixture of white or cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds to create the pickling liquid. The hot brine is poured over the peppers, and the jar is cooled to room temperature before refrigerating. Over time, the peppers absorb the acidic, sweet, and spiced flavors, resulting in a vibrant condiment. The pickled chillies have a balance of heat from the fresh peppers and tang from the vinegar with subtle aromatic notes from the spices.
Stored in the refrigerator, they remain good for up to four months. This method offers a quick and convenient way to preserve chili peppers with minimal equipment and waiting time. These pickled peppers can add a punch to sandwiches, salads, tacos, or other recipes needing a spicy twist.
