Ingredients
- 1 small head of cauliflower trimmed into small florets
- 3 small-diced ribs of celery
- 4 peeled and small diced carrots
- 1 seeded and small diced red bell pepper
- 1 seeded and small diced green bell pepper
- 1 seeded and small diced jalapeño
- 1 seeded and small diced serrano pepper
- 4 finely minced garlic cloves
- 15 ounce can green olives reserve the olive juice brine which should be 1 cup
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 cup avocado or neutral-flavored oil
- 1 tablespoon dry oregano
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
- 1/3 cup coarse salt
Instructions
- Prepare all the vegetables into small to medium diced size pieces.
- Add them to a large bowl along with the salt and mix thoroughly until combined.
- Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours. This process will season as well as brine the vegetables.
- The next day, drain the vegetables and give them a quick rinse under cold water.
- Slice or small to medium size dice the olives.
- Place the rinsed vegetables in a large bowl with the olives, garlic, oregano, and celery seed.
- Next, add in the olive brine, vinegar, and oil.
- Mix the ingredients together.
- Place them in jars and store them in the refrigerator for 24 hours before consuming to allow the flavors to develop.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Whether storing in the refrigerator or canning, you can make this up to several days ahead.
- How to Store: If making refrigerator giardiniera, it can last up to 3 weeks covered in the refrigerator. When canning, it can last sealed and stored in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
- This will get more intense in flavor with time as the flavors will begin to come out and marry.
- You can also make this recipe by processing them in sterilized jars and submerging them in water for 20 minutes.
- There does not need to be an exact measurement of the vegetables, so their size does not matter and will not alter the flavor. In addition, if you happen to like a certain ingredient that’s used, then I encourage you to use more of it.
