Mexican Pickled Carrots
These Authentic Mexican Pickled Carrots are a great make-it-at-home version that are just like the ones you get at Mexican restaurants and so easy to make! Make plenty of these "escabeche en vinagre" and even add cauliflower if you like, these go fast!
Ingredients
2 lbs large carrots2 large jalapeños
1/2 white onion, medium
5 cloves garlic smashed
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
6 bay leaves, whole
10 black peppercorns
2 tsp dried Mexican oregano (See Note 1)
1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
Peel and slice carrots and onion into 1/4 inch thick pieces (See Note 2). Cut the stems off jalapeños and slice thin on diagonal (See Note 3). Set aside.In a large stock pot add the garlic, vinegar, water, oil, bay leaves, peppercorns, oregano, salt. Bring to a boil and add the carrots, onion and jalapeños. Lower heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, uncovered.
Allow to cool completely and store vegetables and cooking liquid in clean, sterile glass containers with lid. Keep refrigerated.
Fine to eat after 3 hours, best if pickled for at least a day or two.
Notes
1. The herb that makes this is Mexican oregano, but regular oregano works just as well.
2. Slice carrots on the diagonal for larger pieces to eat.
3. Cut the half white onion into 1/4 inch slices, no diagonal cut needed as with carrots.
