Slice these and mix with cured meats for a fresher take on antipasto salad.

Ingredients

Makes about 4 cups

2 cups unseasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons kosher salt
4 Hungarian wax peppers
6 Italian frying peppers
4 jalapeños, sliced into rings
  1. Step 1

    Whisk vinegar, sugar, salt, and 1 1/2 cups water in a large glass jar until sugar dissolves. Prick Hungarian wax peppers and Italian frying peppers all over with a cake tester or the point of a sharp paring knife (this helps the brine penetrate the chiles faster). Add both peppers and jalapeños to jar and chill at least 12 hours before using.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 2

    Chiles can be pickled 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.
