PICKLED JALAPEñOS
Ask any Mexican if they have pickled jalapeños in their pantry, and the answer is usually a resounding yes. More than a condiment, they are an absolute necessity. Incredibly versatile, they can be tucked into tacos, quesadillas and sandwiches, mixed into tuna salads or eggs for omelets, or served as garnishes, crowning nachos, hot dogs and pizzas. The tangy brine, which can be used to punch up any vinaigrette, tames the heat of the chiles. There are countless store-bought options - and people tend to be loyal to particular brands - but pickling your own is easy, and allows you to customize to taste, altering the vegetable ratios, herbs or sugar content. Inspired by fruit-based vinegars available in the Mexican countryside, this version combines white distilled vinegar with natural rice vinegar, adding a dose of sweetness.

Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) skillet or a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until their outer layer begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until it barely begins to turn golden. Incorporate the jalapeños and carrots, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a couple times, until the jalapeño skins begin to slightly dull and wrinkle.
- Stir in all remaining ingredients and simmer briskly for about 7 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the vegetables soften. Turn off the heat and let cool.
- Transfer the pickled vegetables and their liquid into a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. (They will last for at least 1 month.)

Tips
- Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use fresh, firm jalapeños that are deep green in color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling peppers: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when you're cutting or seeding them.
- Remove the seeds from the peppers if you want a milder pickle: The seeds are where most of the heat is concentrated, so removing them will make the pickles less spicy.
- Use a variety of vinegar: You can use any type of vinegar you like for your pickles, but white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar are all popular choices.
- Add other spices and herbs to your pickles: Garlic, onion, dill, and mustard seeds are all popular additions to pickled jalapeños. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of spices to create your own unique flavor.
- Let your pickles rest for at least 24 hours before eating them: This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
