Overnight Pickled Veggies

  • 2 cups fresh trimmed green beans
  • 2 cups fresh or packaged baby carrots
  • 1 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp chopped jalapeno pepper
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
In a large saucepan cook green beans in a small amount of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Add carrots and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain.

In the same saucepan combine the vinegar, water, jalapeno, garlic and salt. Heat just to boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the dill and cilantro.

Place the veggies into a jar or bowl and pour vinegar over veggies. Let stand for 30 minutes. If you don't have a jar available you can transfer the veggies and vinegar to a Ziploc bag to marinate.

Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or up to 3 days, stirring occasionally.
