QUICK-PICKLED CHILES



Quick-Pickled Chiles image

Some serranos are super-spicy (taste a seed to find out); you can remove some seeds for less heat. These are good on just about anything, but especially roasted vegetables with a bit of sweetness, such as squashes, carrots, parsnips, and beets. Use them to give our Date, Olive, and Goat-Cheese Tart a kick.

An essential part of the classic holiday relish tray, pickles bring a balance of lighter and brighter flavors to heavier delights on the table like cheese and charcuterie. Make-ahead by design, these pickled carrots are tangy, crunchy, and spiced with earthy cumin and dried chiles for a zip of heat.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large leeks
2 medium peaches, thinly sliced
1 Fresno or serrano chile, thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon mustard seed
2 whole cloves
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Split the leeks in half. Run the cut sides under water, fanning the layers to remove any trapped silt or sand. Cut the leek halves into 2-inch pieces. Place the leeks in a colander to dry.
  • Add the peaches and chiles to a mason jar with a lid. Heat the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, cloves, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the vinegar mixture into the jar with the peaches. Leave the jar uncovered to come to room temperature while you cook the leeks.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the leeks to the oil cut-side up. Cook until the leeks crisp and char, about 3 minutes. Flip, cover and cook until the leeks brown on the cut sides and begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove the leeks to a serving platter.
  • Measure 2 tablespoons of the pickling liquid into a measuring cup, jar or small bowl. Whisk in the lime juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Spoon a few peaches and chiles over the leeks, then pour over the dressing and sprinkle with mint. Serve immediately.
