Preserved Chilies in Oil
Making preserved chilies in oil is super easy! All you need is a few minutes in the kitchen to whip up this spicy condiment.
Ingredients
- 7-8 red chilies
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3-5 garlic
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ cup oil
Instructions
- Wash the chilies nicely and pat them dry.
- Thinly slice them using a sharp knife and set them aside.
- Combine vinegar and salt in a non-reactive bowl. Add the chilies and garlic and cover the bowl with cling wrap. Set this aside for a few hours.
- Drain the vinegar and pack the chilies with the garlic in a glass jar. Pour in the olive oil until all the chilies are covered.
Notes
- Remove the stems and discard the seeds from the chilies if you prefer a more subtle, toned-down version. I do the same when I make my green chili pickle and pickled turmeric.
- Don't discard the oil- it is actually a great flavor-infused oil that you can use to drizzle on your pizzas or use as a base for your salad dressings.
