Steps

1

Combine vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and salt in a large sauce pan and bring to a low boil.
2

In the meantime, slice carrots into ovals diagonally about 1/8” thick, slice onion into thin halves, and slice jalapeños thin, just a little less than the carrots.
3

Once the brine has begun to boil, add the carrots, onion, and jalapeño.
4

Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 20 minutes.
5

Remove from heat and let cool for at least 30 minutes before you place in a glass jar.
6

Place the jar in the refrigerator and let sit for two days for best results. You can eat sooner, but I’ve found the flavors are so much better after two days.

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
