New Orleans Hot Pickled Green Beans
30 mins prepServes 1
This recipe uses chiles, black peppercorns, and hot sauce, all flavors reminiscent of one of my favorite places…Louisiana! I used the "quick pickle" technique which can be applied to many veggies, not just green beans.
FILLING Grab a 12-ounce Mason jar with a lid, and stuff it with the french beans. Next, slide in the smashed garlic, bay leaves, and chiles evenly around the outside of the jar. Then pour in the hot sauce and sprinkle the peppercorns, oregano, and dill over the top. Set the jar aside.
PICKLING Warm up a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then add in the vinegar, water, sweetener, and salt. Give it a stir and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Note, all of the sweetener and salt should have dissolved into the liquid by this point. Very carefully pour the boiling pickling liquid directly into the mason jar, just until the jar is nearly full. Set the jar aside, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, or until it’s cool enough to touch. After cooling, close the lid, and give the jar a gentle shake to ensure the spices spread out evenly.
STORING You can store the jar in your fridge for up to two months! Be sure to leave them in the fridge for at least 24 hours before first eating them, as they haven't pickled just yet ;)
