MEXICAN STYLE HOT PICKLED CARROTS
These are the hot carrots like you get in Mexican restaurants. They are positively addictive. I usually make a batch and share with a friend or neighbor. This recipe comes from a restaurant in San Diego called Alta Vista. It was owned and run by a woman named Mary Sargent. Her loyal customers were saddened when she closed her doors and retired, but at least we are able to make these delicious carrots.

Steps:
- Mix the brown sugar, salt, pepper, five-spice powder, garlic powder, ground ginger and onion powder in a bowl, and then rub all over the pork. Place on a wire-racked baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with the oven rack in the middle position.
- Remove the plastic wrap and cover the pork with a layer of parchment paper. Then seal over the top with aluminum foil. Roast for 3 hours. Remove, uncover and drain any liquid fat. Return the pork to the oven and roast until the pork registers 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the pork is well browned, about 1 1/2 hours more. Transfer the pork to a large dish, cover with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Sandwich Build: Using two forks or your hands, pull apart the warm pork into shreds and chunks. Butter and griddle the rolls until golden brown. Place ample quantities of pork on the bottom buns, then top with Pickled Cukes and Carrots and Sweet-and-Hot Mustard Sauce or Sweet Chile Sauce if desired.
- Bring 1 cup water, the vinegar, sugar and salt to a boil in a saucepan until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Take off the heat, and add in the carrots, cucumbers and crushed red pepper and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Mix the mustard, water, honey, sesame oil, vegetable oil and salt in a bowl until smooth.
- Ingredients and Directions
- Bring the vinegar, sugar and salt to a boil in a saucepan and cook until dissolved. Simmer until thickened and reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in the crushed red pepper, ginger and garlic, and serve.
HOT PICKLED CARROTS
I love the pickled carrots served at the Mexican restaurants where I live. They are so good to eat with a burrito. After doing some research and experiementation I came up with this recipe. It is pretty much dead on for the taste I wanted. I will often take these for lunch to eat with a sandwich. They go well with almost any...

Steps:
- 1. Place all ingredients in a non reactive pot (stainless or enamel) and bring to a boil.
- 2. Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes until the carrots are just tender crisp. You still want them to be rather crispy.
- 3. Turn off heat and let cool. Put into a jar or other container and refrigerate for a few days to blend flavors and let veggies cure.
- 4. If you taste these right away and they do not seem hot enough, give them time. The flavor and heat will develop. Enjoy!
