Thinly sliced carrots are added to onions and jalapenos to make a savory topping for tacos and other Mexican dishes.
Chef's notes
For an option to speed up the pickling process, mix the vinegar, sweetener and salt in a small sauce pot, bring up to heat and pour over remaining ingredients. The heat will allow the pickling brine to be absorbed faster.
NOTE: The recipe featured in the photo has additional ingredeints such as garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns and baby yellow zucchini — feel free to experiment to see what you like best.
