Ingredients
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1 pound whole jalapeños
1 medium white or yellow onion, thickly sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch slices
1 head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place jalapeños in the hot pan and char on both sides, about 2 minutes each side.
  2. Add onion, carrots and garlic into the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking and burning.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots and jalapeños are tender. Remove from heat and cool.
  4. Store in two quart containers and keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.
