Pickled Carrots
April 15, 2013
Herbaceous, spicy, crunchy and oh, so wonderful. Bet you can't eat just one.
Be sure and let them sit the full 24 hours for the flavors to develop
Once I got all the carrots and onions peeled and sliced, I discovered I didn't have the chili's needed to make the recipe, so I cheated and threw in a small can of Embasa brand pickled jalapenos en escabeche.
Not only did I not have the chilis but I didn't have the radishes either; not having_all_the ingredients has never stopped me before, and so far, (knock on wood) I haven't had too many disasters.
This turned out so good I don't know how the original recipe can top it, but I'll eventually give it a try.
What I did different was to not use the chilis called for in the recipe, but substituted them with a small can of Embasa brand jalapenos en escabeche. I also substituted a medium onion for the radishes; and I doubled the liquids and herbs.
Here's the original recipe
