Chiles Jalapeños en Escabeche
Pickle Jalapeño chiles with carrots, onion and mushrooms. Home made allways tastes better!
Dish story
Pickled jalapeños are one of the most traditional preserves in Mexican cuisine. Found in homes, markets and taquerías across the country, they accompany countless dishes, bringing freshness, acidity and balanced heat. Their slow preparation allows the vegetables to absorb the flavors of the spices and vinegar, making them a staple of Mexican cooking.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala, we prepare our escabeche by hand and add mushrooms alongside the traditional vegetables. They bring a meaty texture while absorbing the pickling flavors, creating a condiment with greater depth and character than the classic recipe.
Main ingredients
The jalapeño pepper is one of the most iconic ingredients in Mexican cuisine. It offers a fresh, vegetal heat with a moderate spice level, allowing its flavor to shine without overpowering the dish. When pickled, it develops subtle tangy and aromatic notes, making it an exceptional accompaniment.
