Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 ladle
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 250 ml/1 cup jar

Ingredients

  • 200 g fresh red chillies or a mix of your choice
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 250 ml white wine vinegar or your choice, see article above (you may need more, to completely cover the chillies, depending on the width of your bowl)
  • 250 ml EV olive oil

Instructions

Day 1

  • Wash and thoroughly dry the chillies, then place them in a food chopper and chop them coarsely. You can also do this by hand.
  • Place the chillies in a bowl and top with salt.
  • Pour the vinegar all over and stir to dissolve the salt as much as possible. Cover with a clingfilm and leave to soak overnight, at room temperature, on your kitchen counter.
    This will kickstart the preservation process.

The Next Day 2

  • Drain the chillies and place them in a sterilised jar.
  • Top with olive oil, ensuring the chillies are all covered with at least 2.5cm/1" layer of oil.
    Leave it for at least a day before enjoying them as described above. Store in the fridge once opened and consume within a month.
