MEXICAN PICKLED CARROTS (ESCABECHE)
Adapted from the Fresh Approach Cooking blog, I've added a couple of things to it. This is a refrigerated pickle, crisp, spicy, and addictive. It will keep a couple of months or longer in the fridge. The cooking time is the minimum refrigeration time for the pickle.

TAQUERIA-STYLE SPICY PICKLED CARROTS
Zanahorias en escabeche are those delish tangy, spicy carrots served alongside your favorite dishes at taquerias. They are easy to make and delicious to add to take your tacos, tortas, or any Mexican dishes. This is not a canning recipe, so keep them in the fridge. Refrigerate them for up to 4 weeks.

Steps:
- Whisk vinegar, water, and sea salt together in a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer until salt is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Peel carrots and cut them into 1/2-inch diagonal slices. Cut onion into quarters. Cut each quarter into 3 strips. Cut stems off jalapenos and cut each jalapeno into 6 strips. Slightly crush each garlic clove.
- Warm oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add bay leaves, peppercorns, oregano, and cumin seeds. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add onion, jalapenos, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and fragrant but not soft, about 15 minutes.
- Place vegetables in a 24-ounce wide-mouth canning jar. Pour in the cooled vinegar mixture until liquid reaches 1 inch from the top. Pour olive oil on top and secure the lid. Allow to cool to room temperature. The carrots are ready to serve after 1 hour but best after sitting for 24 hours.

Steps:
- You can do this quickly by placing the jars and lids inside a large and deep pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes and remove and drain off the water while you prepare the carrots.
- In a large frying pan heat the oil, then add the carrots and cook for about 3 minutes. Next add the chilies, onion, garlic, and bay leaves and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes. Next add the salt, oregano, and peppercorns and cook for about 3 minutes, stir to combine the spices and vegetables well.
- Test a piece of carrot to see how crisp or tender it is. You can decide how much crispness you'd like your carrots to have, cook until they reach your desired texture. Turn off heat and set aside.
- In a medium pot (while your carrots are cooking), mix the water and vinegar and bring to a soft boil under medium-low heat. Once boiling cover and turn heat to low and allow to simmer until it's ready to be poured over the carrots in the jars.
- Fill each jar 3/4 full with the carrot mixture. Then pour in vinegar mix but leave about 1/8th inch of space from the rim. This is to leave enough room so it doesn't spill.
- Seal tightly and set jars aside to allow to sit and cool down to room temperature. Once at room temperature you can put them in the refrigerator.
- Allow to sit in overnight to allow flavors seep into the carrots and make them more flavorful. Tightly sealed they will keep up to a couple of weeks in the refrigerator, that's if they last you that long!
