For 4 serving

Ingredients

1 kg hot peppers (regular chili or hotter varieties)
1 kg white onions
500 ml spirit vinegar (8%)
500 ml water
2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar
a few allspice berries
whole black peppercorns
coriander seeds

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the peppers Wash the peppers, remove the stems and, to taste, the seeds. Chop them finely or blend them. We recommend using gloves – the capsaicin from chili burns even after contact with the skin.
Cutting the onion Peel the onion and chop finely, or use a food processor. Mix with the chopped peppers.
Cooking the brine Pour the vinegar and water into a pot, add salt, sugar and spices and briefly boil (1–2 minutes). Let it sit for a moment.
Filling the jars Divide the pepper-onion mixture into clean, sterilized jars. Pour the hot brine over to the rim.
Sealing Immediately close the jars with lids. For longer shelf life we recommend processing them in a water bath for 15 minutes.

Total preparation time: approx. 45 minutes

Number of servings: 4–5 jars (volume 300–400 ml)

Serving

Serve the salad as a spicy side to meat, in burgers, on toasts or simply with bread and butter or lard. It’s also excellent in the winter months – it warms you up perfectly and gives the food a kick.

Recipe conclusion

This spicy salad is proof that even without preservatives and added chemicals you can prepare a long-lasting, flavorful and healthy treat. The jars will keep in the pantry for months and make a great original edible gift. If you love hot food, you’ll fall in love with this recipe.
