PICKLED PEPPERONCINI WITHOUT CANNING



PICKLED PEPPERONCINI WITHOUT CANNING image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Side

Yield 2 jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. fresh pepperoncini peppers
2-1/2 cups water
3 cups vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons pickling salt
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
4 garlic cloves

Steps:

  • Wash the peppers with cold water and allow them to dry. Put water, vinegar, sugar and salt into a soup pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and stir until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium and add bay leaves, whole coriander seeds and black peppercorns. Chop the garlic into small chunks and add it to the pot. Allow this to simmer for five minutes. Leave peppers whole and pierce their sides three to four times. Place the peppers into storage jars and leave about 1 inch of head space. Pour the hot liquid into the jars containing the peppers, screw on their lids and allow the jars to cool before placing them in the refrigerator. Let the peppers marinade for at least a week before using. The pickle flavor will be stronger the longer they sit. Tips: The pickles will keep for several months in the refrigerator. Do not use if pressure develops in the jars or if the liquid becomes really cloudy and begins to smell. This can be a sign of contamination and the pickles are not safe to eat.

2-INGREDIENT PEPPERONCINI BEEF ROAST



2-Ingredient Pepperoncini Beef Roast image

This is a recipe DH and I begged off a former co-worker, Barbara, years ago. She brought it to a potluck, and our co-workers raved about it. It's a beef roast (your choice of cut) with a whole jar of pepperoncinis and juice dumped into a Crock Pot and cooked on low for 8 hours. The beef turns out amazingly tender and tangy but not spicy, and the peppers soften and absorb the juices wonderfully. Eat the beef with the pepperoncinis or without. Sometimes we serve it on burger buns or without. Left-overs are yummy too--cold or hot!

  • To serve, drain juices from meet but reserve pepperoncinis. Shred meat on a platter and arrange pepperoncinis around the outside. Serve on a burger bun or beef only with or without pepperoncinis.

LAZY BUTT PEPPERONCINI CROCK POT BEEF



Lazy Butt Pepperoncini Crock Pot Beef image

Three ingredients + almost zero prep + your trusty slow cooker = *RGF*. (Really Good Food.) While there's a tiny kick from the peppers, it's not the eye-watering kind of heat I tend to fear. I got this from allrecipes.com where the author suggests serving the meat and peppers on toasted hoagie rolls with provolone or mozzarella and your choice of condiments. If using cheese, (which would help temper any heat from the peppers), top the roll with the meat, then cheese and zap it in the microwave for a few seconds or, better yet, under the broiler, particularly if you're toasting your rolls there. You could also slap a serving on tortillas with appropriate condiments. (Damn, I'm getting hungry.) Some reviewers add broth and onions to the crock pot, but it really doesn't need it. Let your taste buds be your guide! *** UPDATE *** The other night I mixed some shredded Monterey Jack and this lovely seriously aged Dutch Unie Kaas Robusto, broiled it on the top half of a sesame seed bun until melted, then slapped that puppy on the meat-topped lower half of the bun. I also experimented with a little Cattlemen's (Smokehouse) bbq sauce. And in addition to the slices of garlic inserted into the meat, I put 1/2 of a head of garlic in one of those little drawstring bags and plopped that puppy in the crockpot to cook with the rest of the ingredients. Yum!
