Giardiniera uses serrano peppers (~ 1 lb. for this recipe size) with no green/red peppers (although you can add red for color). There is also no garlic, onions nor pimentos (other than maybe for color). Vinegar is often not used, but can be...but at a lower ratio than oil (I prefer olive over standardized canola)...and it's not mixed.
Giardiniara - A jar of that tangy zesty pickled veggies, Giardiniera makes these shredded Beef Sandwiches Italian! I've chosen to keep the giardiniera as a topping rather than add it to the crock pot so everyone can add the amount they like. I also like to keep it uncooked, adding a crisp cold contrast to the hot tender beef.
This giardiniera recipe does not require processing in a hot water bath because of the vinegar-brine solution that's necessary to preserve the vegetables; be sure to use a good-quality vinegar for the best results. 10 ounces (250 grams) pearl onions, peeled and soaked in cold water for 1 hour
