Pickles and Preserves
Giardiniera
Ingredients: Jalapeños, red and green peppers, onion, celery, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, distilled white vinegar, oregano, black pepper, salt
This is a recipe inspired by Monica’s hometown Chicago, where giardiniera is served with almost everything, especially sandwiches and pizzas. It’s our go-to table pickle, our desert island pickle if you will! It’s great with everything: hummus, avocado, cheese, on salad, with eggs. Or straight out the jar, because it’s basically a salad of chopped vegetables packed in delicious extra virgin olive oil. Get more serving ideas in our post about Chicago-style hot giardiniera.
Salsa Macha
Ingredients: Dried Mexican chillies (varieties vary, but usually a combination of guajillo, chipotle, ancho, and/or pasilla), olive oil, garlic, sesame seeds, almonds or walnuts, Mexican oregano, cider vinegar
Literally translated “macho salsa”. I think of it as a dried chilli pesto, and a great way to discover the joys of dried Mexican chillies. This isn’t super spicy, so feel free to use it generously as a garnish. It’s a great way to pep up tacos, greens, rice, eggs, anything (much like giardiniera). For more inspiration, check out our post on salsa macha which even includes a recipe so you can make your own variations.
Seville Orange Marmalade
Ingredients: Seville oranges, water, sugar, citric acid, pectin
Nothing exotic here. Just straight up bitter seville orange marmalade. Magic with sourdough toast and good salty butter.
