Ingredients
2 carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
3 jalapeno chiles (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced lengthwise
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup white-wine vinegar
1 packed tablespoon fresh oregano, or 3/4 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until onion is crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours; serve with a slotted spoon. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
