Having a jar of Spicy Pickled Vegetables in the fridge is never a bad idea! Radish, carrot and jalapeños are quickly pickled with garlic and cilantro to be crisp, delicious and with some heat. These crunchy gems are perfect on a sandwich, tacos or by themselves as a snack!
Start by adding the sugar and salt into a medium saucepan. In any recipe, sugar and salt are simply added for flavor.
Next, pour in all the vinegars and heat on medium, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Then remove the pan off of the heat and cool completely.
Meanwhile, wash, pat dry and slice the carrots, radish and jalapeños. Also, smash and peel 3 large cloves of garlic and chop up 1/3 cup fresh cilantro.
In a large 32 ounce jar, combine all of the vegetables with the cilantro and garlic
Pour the cooled pickling solution over the vegetables and fill the jar with cold water until the vegetables are just covered. Try using a spoon to press the vegetables down to submerge.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and tip it back and forth a few times just to insure that the water and vinegar mix.
Place the jar of quick pickled vegetables into your fridge for 18 to 24 hours and in no time you will have crunchy, delicious and a smidgen spicy pickled vegetables.
