Haitian Pickles (pickled chilies)
6 Scotch bonnet chili peppers, sliced
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
5 string beans, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pinch of coarse kosher salt
If you like cabbage, add some thinly sliced to fill the jar.
Distilled white vinegar.
In a 26 oz. jar with a tight lid, put all of your ingredients and enough vinegar to cover the vegetables. Store in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks before use.
Remember: Haitian put pickles on almost everything (fish, chicken, beef and fried plantains).
To avoid pickles turning brown, always use a clean spoon.
