SPICY GARLIC PEPPER VINEGAR

(Makes ¾ cup) 

Ingredients:

• 3 cloves garlic

• 2 Thai chilis or 1 large serrano chile 

• ¼ cup rice vinegar 

• ½ cup water 

Preparation:

Peel the cloves of garlic and place on a cutting board. “Mash” them by pressing down on them using either a fork or the broad end of a knife, to gently open the skin. Place the garlic in a medium mason jar.

Next, partially split the peppers lengthwise and add them to the garlic. Pour the rice vinegar and water into the jar, and secure the jar’s cover.

Place in the refrigerator overnight before using.

This will keep for months in the refrigerator. If it tastes too garlicky or hot, add more vinegar and water, keeping the same 1:2 ratio (i.e., 2 tbsp vinegar to 4 tbsp water).

Enjoy!
