Escabeche – Mexican Pickled Vegetables

14 Comments February 21, 2019 FrugalHausfrau

Have you had those marvelous pickled veggies in restaurants that are sometimes a garnish on Mexican or food from other Latin American countries? And of course, as I’m saying this, I’m assuming that you’re probably not in Latin America and don’t already make Escabeche, Mexican Pickled Vegetables! Although I do get visitors from all over the place and so far today, according to the WordPress wizards (they host my site), I’ve had seven visitors from Mexico! Hola!

There are times you want to have a recipe like White Chicken Chili Slow Cooker – Instant Pot – Stovetop. And then there are times you HAVE to have it! Maybe like today, when up Nord, here, in the Twin Cities the high is 12 degrees with seven inches of fresh snow, but tomorrow promises a high of -5 and a low of -25! That’s Fahrenheit!

Do yanno what’s a great little thing to have on hand? Just to perk up a little Mexican food or just about anything you’d like a little spicier? Refrigerator Pickled Jalapenos. And not only are the pickled jalapenos great, if you’re into a little heat, but the brine is also fantastic dribbled in or over dishes. The beauty of pickled jalapenos is that if you’re serving a mix of people, maybe some normal along with a few “chili-heads” you can choose a milder heat level. Then the heat lovers can doctor up with the jalapenos and/or a little of the brine.

McMullan’s Irish Nachos

Happy St. Paddy’s Day!! I’ve actually been cooking Irish-inspired or at least Irish American inspired recipes all week. The standout was these McMullan’s Irish Nachos. They are so named because they’re inspired by the famous McMullen’s Pub. McMullen’s is located in Las Vegas, Nevada and if you’re anywhere near, you might just want to visit. If not, maybe these Nachos will do for now!

McMullan’s Irish Nachos, add in pickled jalapenos and limes, too!

Cowboy Candy Sweet Hot Pickled Peppers

I love summer when the living is easy…gardening, grilling, and maybe a little light canning. I’m not about putting up quarts of tomatoes (although you should see how many plants we put in), but love tinkering with small batches of something special. Cowboy Candy Sweet Hot Pickled Peppers fit the bill & bonus…they go right in the fridge and don’t have to be “processed.” (But you can “can” them if you wish.)
