I'm going to make giardiniera - any good recipes?

I remember having giardiniera on Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. So good.
I've been itching to relive the experience without getting shot at.

I've already started making my own "Claussen" style pickles. I may have to start making my own relish, too. I HAVE pickled veggies in addition to the pickles. My base "cold pack" recipe- Fill quart jar with 50/50 mix water and 5% vinegar. Add: 1 T canning salt, 1 t dill weed, 1/2 t dill seed, 2 cloves of garlic, minced (vary to taste). Shake. Add sliced carrots, onions, cauliflower, pickles (cucumbers grown for pickling, NOT regular cucumbers), etc to your liking. I pack my jars full- very full! Remember that this is a cold-pack recipe, good for about 3-4 weeks in the fridge. It is NOT a processed recipe utilizing boiled/canning technique needed for long-term storage. I see in your pic that there is also mustard seed, peppercorns, some whole allspice, etc. Looks good!

@Massageman Man, that sounds good! Claussen style - so, lot's of crunch?
I bet that would be delicious. Thanks

Chicago native here and that jar put a smile on my face.

@Bearsfan67 Do you get to Cleveland?

@Budwick I’ve been but it’s been a long time. I’m in mid Michigan these days so it’s a pretty easy trip.

@Bearsfan67 A long trip for a sandwich!
I'll let you know if the food is worth the trip.

Damn
You just added another thing to my To-Do list
Make giardiniera’

There are some Buona Beef and Pop's Beef - Portillo even- locations in the suburbs that are still
reasonably safe.

@Massageman Yeah, I was kind of kidding - I live in Cleveland now and wasn't really planning a trip. But thanks.

@Budwick Portillo WILL ship, but the price is sky-high.
Cinc- OK - you will have to settle for Skyline chili - or at least add onions and cinnamon to canned stuff. :- )

@Massageman I thought briefly about ordering the eight Italian beef boxes - but I realized, I don't want it THAT bad.

Something for me to try :) I don't have a recipe, sorry, but it looks INCREDIBLE!
I love green olives.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Spoiledbrat Yes - I want to include olives!
