  • Giardiniera is a mix of fresh vegetables from the garden mixed in a vinaigrette with lots of seasonings. Learn how to make giardiniera two different ways, including my recipes for Italian Giardiniera, which is chunkier and usually served as an appetizer, and Chicago-Style Giardiniera, which is more finely chopped and used as a spicy topping for beef sandwiches and more. So delicious. I grew up in the Chicago area. Gotta have my giardiniera.

    I recently moved to Chicago from LA and had a steakhouse beef sandwich at Potbelly for the first time today and I instantly fell in love with the hot peppers! I did a bit of research to find out that they are Chicago style giardinieras! This is going to be a staple condiment in my fridge, thanks for the recipe Mike :)

    Thanks for this recipe! Very timely. Another youtuber recently published a very well researched guide to Chicago-stlye thin crust pizza, about which he states a classic southside combo is sausage and Chicago-style giardiniera. I'm a north-sider myself but love this unbeatable combo too. My problem is that I live in Sweden now, and have not been able to find giardiniera anywhere... Problem now solved. Thank you again!
    Ps: in (french) cooking school we boiled a seasoned brine first. Then added only to carrot to the hot brine. When cool the rest of the vegetables were added. No oil was used. So my old text book recipe didn't help here. Oil in Chicago-style is a must!

    Thank you so-o-o-o much. I was introduced to Fontano's sandwiches during my years at "U of I, Chicago Circle" in the early 70's and they became a benchmark for me of what a sandwich should be. I've been living abroad for over 40 years but it was only about 10 years ago that I thought of making my own Giardiniera and when I looked for a recipe, all I found was the antipasta version, so I melded what I remembered with the seasonings in the recipes and concocted something close. Hearing you refer to Chicago Giardiniera made me feel homesick and realize that it's yet another food with the Chicago stamp on it. I can't wait to make some giardiniera! (BTW - you'd love Barcelona ;-)

    Nice recipe, giardiniera is great as a snack, topping, or even an ingredient in other dishes. I like to make mine mid-way between italian and chicago style, makes it snackable, but easy to chop into smaller pieces for a hero or sandwich.
    Instead of the vinaigrette, I like it fermented. Same basic instructions, but with a 3% salt brine instead of the vinegar/oil mixture. Keep at room temp, away from the sun, for at least two weeks, but you can let it go until the fermentation stalls, or it's got the desired level of funk.
    Cheers!

I ask the waiter and he suggested check RUclips for recipes. Ok I have ran past 3 or 4 but this one will be my keeper, I think. This will sure beat having to chop the big stuff here :).

    I grew up with old school Sunday pot roast. The meat was great. The potatoes were done sometimes, over or under done other time. Always bland and the carrots were a disgusting mulch. I spent 50 years of my life hating cooked carrots and boiled potatoes. Now, I just pop the meat, garlic, onions and some seasoning in the crock pot. About thirty minutes before the meat is ready, I make garlic and herb mash potatoes. About 15 minutes before dinner, I dump a giardinira of carrot (minimum) in the pot. I sometimes also have celery, onion rings and mushrooms. Line the bottom of a large bowl with the potatoes and pile on the meat, gravy and giardinira on top. A sprnkle of Parma or romano doesn't hurt. The potatoes are rich, flavorful and creamy. The vegetable are tasty but still crunchy. The gravy has a zip from the brine. And really, how can parma/Roma not improve anything. This has surpassed chili as my ultimate winter comfort food.

      @ChiliPepperMadness  Год назад +1

      My Chicago style usually lasts a couple months with enough vinegar, though we go through it quickly. The Italian style not as long, as it's larger chunks, so I would consume it within a week, sooner for freshness.

    So the brine doesn’t have to go to the top on the Italian style while it sits in the fridge?

    • @ChiliPepperMadness
      @ChiliPepperMadness  10 месяцев назад

      Tarot, the brine doesn't necessarily have to cover all the vegetables while it sits in the fridge, but it's ideal - for the best preservation and flavor.

      Len, not sure if you watched the entire video, but YES, celery is included in both recipes - Italian and Chicago Style. It's even listed in the ingredients in the description of the video. 2 stalks celery. Regardless, not all places put celery in their giardiniera. You're right, though, it's pretty common. If you make this, add as much as you'd like.

    Yes, too big and chunky is not for me. I also can do without the carrots, but not the olives. For some reason I see white vinegar as a household cleaner and not something I'd use in food prep. Must be the Italian in me. Another thing I don't understand is why you're not covering the vegetables in your vinaigrette. But otherwise very informative.

    • @ChiliPepperMadness
      @ChiliPepperMadness  3 месяца назад

      You can easily chop it to preference, and of course adjust to your preferred veggies. Vinegar is easy to swap, maybe a nice champagne vinegar, another preference variable. You'll want to cover in the vinaigrette if you're keeping it awhile. I don't like to drown it for serving. Cheers!

    I have a question. WTF is "good quality" white vinegar. I mean I know what good quality red wine vinegar is. I know what good quality apple cider vinegar is. Balsamic, etc...
    White Vinegar is just distilled vinegar. Its all the same IMO.

    • @ChiliPepperMadness

      It really comes down to using a vinegar you like the taste of. You can use any of the vinegars you mention, though a white vinegar is most commonly used. I prefer a white wine vinegar, or a mixture of white wine vinegar and white vinegar.
