Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 medium White onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 medium Jalapeño peppers
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin, diagonal rounds. Break the cauliflower into small florets and thinly slice the white onion.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves. Slice the jalapeño peppers into thin rounds and remove seeds for less heat if desired.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sliced carrots, cauliflower, and jalapeños to the skillet. Stir and sauté for 5 minutes to begin softening the vegetables.
Add the white onion slices, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and dried oregano. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the white vinegar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the escabeche to cool to room temperature in the liquid. This allows the flavors to fully develop.
Transfer the mixture, along with its liquid, into a glass jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish, taco topping, or condiment. Enjoy!
