Pickled Jalapeño Paste Recipe

Ingredients

• 200g (about 7 oz) fresh jalapeños, sliced
• 240ml (1 cup) white vinegar
• 120ml (1/2 cup) water
• 10g (2 tsp) salt
• 15ml (1 tbsp) sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 5g (1 tsp) dried oregano
• 5g (1 tsp) cumin seeds
• 10g (2 tsp) olive oil

Instructions

Begin by washing the jalapeños thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, trim off the stems and slice them into thin rounds. Remember, the seeds increase the paste’s spiciness, so adjust according to your heat preference.

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Add the crushed garlic, dried oregano, and cumin seeds. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the salt and sugar dissolve completely.

Carefully add the sliced jalapeños into the simmering pickling mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let it steep for 10-12 minutes, allowing the jalapeños to absorb the flavors.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Using a blender or food processor, transfer the jalapeño mixture, add the olive oil, and blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Pour the jalapeño paste into a sealable jar and refrigerate. Let it sit for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop further before use.

Enjoy the pickled jalapeño paste as a condiment with your favorite dishes. Its bold and zesty flavors make it ideal for tacos, sandwiches, burgers, and more!
