Ingredientes:
- 10 chiles jalapeños (pueden ser serranos o de tu preferencia)
- 1 zanahoria grande, cortada en rodajas
- 1 cebolla mediana, cortada en rodajas
- 3 dientes de ajo, pelados
- 1 taza de vinagre blanco
- 1 taza de agua
- 2 hojas de laurel
- 1 cucharada de orégano seco
- 1 cucharadita de pimienta negra en grano
- 1 cucharadita de sal
- 1 cucharadita de azúcar
- 1 cucharada de aceite vegetal
- Opcional: ramitas de tomillo, laurel adicional, o especias al gusto (clavos, canela en rama)
Preparación:
- Lavar los Chiles:
- Lava bien los chiles. Si prefieres que el picante no sea tan intenso, puedes hacerles un pequeño corte en la punta para que se infusione mejor el vinagre.
- Sofreír Ajo y Verduras:
- En una olla grande, calienta el aceite vegetal a fuego medio.
- Añade los dientes de ajo y deja que se doren ligeramente. Luego, agrega la cebolla y la zanahoria, y sofríe por unos minutos hasta que la cebolla esté ligeramente transparente.
- Añadir los Chiles:
- Añade los chiles jalapeños a la olla y cocina por unos 3-4 minutos, mezclando bien con la cebolla y la zanahoria. Esto ayudará a suavizar un poco los chiles.
- Agregar Líquidos y Especias:
- Agrega el vinagre blanco, el agua, las hojas de laurel, el orégano, la pimienta negra, la sal y el azúcar. Si decides usar especias adicionales como clavos o tomillo, añádelos también en este momento. Mezcla bien y deja que hierva.
- Cocinar a Fuego Lento:
- Una vez que la mezcla comience a hervir, reduce el fuego y deja que se cocine a fuego lento durante unos 10 minutos, o hasta que las zanahorias estén tiernas y los chiles hayan cambiado de color.
- Envasar en Frascos:
- Retira del fuego y deja que se enfríe un poco. Luego, transfiere los chiles y las verduras a frascos de vidrio previamente esterilizados.
- Vierte el líquido de cocción hasta cubrir completamente los chiles. Asegúrate de que no queden burbujas de aire en los frascos.
- Sellar y Refrigerar:
- Cierra bien los frascos y deja que se enfríen a temperatura ambiente antes de refrigerar.
- Puedes disfrutar de los chiles en vinagre desde el día siguiente, pero su sabor mejora si los dejas reposar al menos una semana.
Consejos Adicionales:
- Acompañamientos: Estos chiles en vinagre son perfectos para acompañar tacos, tortas, ensaladas o cualquier platillo mexicano.
- Personaliza el Sabor: Si te gusta el sabor más intenso, deja reposar los frascos por más tiempo.
- Variantes de Verduras: Puedes añadir otras verduras como calabacín o coliflor para variar el sabor y la textura.
