Giardiniera (Mixed Pickled Vegetables)

The Giardiniera mixed pickled vegetables by i Contadini
is prepared from late September to the end of November.
The four types of vegetable - peppers, fennel, carrots and
cauliflower are harvested and prepared while at their freshest.
The pickling is still carried out manually, by the expert hands
of the women in the family, following a traditional recipe, and
the vegetables are bottled in glass jars with a very mild sweet
and sour solution.
Its colours will bring you a breath of warmth from our home.
Appealing, tasty-looking vegetables with a crisp, crunchy,
pleasingly sweet and sour flavour - perfect for fresh appetizers.
Also delicious as a side dish for meats and in summer, it can be
added to a rice salad or cold pasta dish, although for this, we
recommend chopping it a little. The perfect accompaniment
for an appetizer with cold meats and cheese.
Buon appetito with our giardiniera.
