They're called 'hot peppers' though, and they need to be on everything you eat. Everything.
I didn’t try the spicy Italian pickled relish known as giardiniera until my early twenties. Truthfully, growing up in rural South Carolina, I thought “giardiniera” was a parasite you got from drinking lake water. My Italian culinary experiences were all of the Olive Garden variety, mispronouncingand imagining picturesque Mediterranean villages where everyone feasted on unlimited breadsticks all day long.
Moving to Brooklyn, however, the unlikely nexus of old-school Italian cuisine and the hipster pickling craze, made the classic condiment—an oil-drenched medley of peppers and vegetables—hard to avoid. And avoid it I did not.
The chain labels its giardiniera—available for impulse-purchase at the register for $6.75—only as “hot peppers,” but that’s some first-rate false modesty. A mix of Serranos, carrots, celery, jalapenos, red bell peppers, cauliflower, and green olives, it shoulders a far heavier load than the standard chopped pepperoncini;to my favorite sandwich , and the oil dresses the lettuce and tomato before seeping deep into the bread.
