Heat oil in a pan and sauté the chopped sausages for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are light golden brown.
In a pot, add equal parts of vinegar and water, and bring it to a boil. Add the sugar, some salt and whole spices.
Add the cooked sausages, hard boiled eggs, sliced onions, garlic and jalapenos to a jar.
Pour the brine into the jar and allow everything to cool down completely.
Notes
Make sure there is enough pickling liquid to completely cover the contents of the jar. If there isn't, simply bring a 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water to a boil again, and then pour it over to fill up the jar.
Refrigerate the pickled eggs and sausage for at least 24 hours before you serve. This will help the sausages, eggs and other ingredients soak up all the flavors and soften a bit.
Add other veggies like carrots, ginger, radish, mushrooms and bell peppers to bulk up the pickle. Also try my ginger carrot pickle and quick pickled radish recipes while you're at it.
If you love textures, you can also add whole shallots into the mix. I absolutely relished my quick pickled shallots, and can't wait to add them to this one too!
