Varieties and uses

Italian giardiniera is also called sottaceti (lit. 'under vinegar'), a common term for pickled foods. It is typically eaten as an antipasto or with salads.[4]

In the United States, giardiniera is commonly available in traditional or spicy varieties, and the latter is sometimes referred to as "hot mix".[citation needed]

Giardiniera is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of different foods, such as bratwurst, bruschetta, burgers, pasta salad, eggs (omelets), hot dogs, tuna salad, sandwiches, and much more.[citation needed] In the U.S. it is not uncommon to use giardiniera on pasta.[citation needed]

In the cuisine of Chicago, an oil-based giardiniera[5] is often used as a condiment, typically as a topping on Italian beef sandwiches,[6] subs, and pizza.[7]

Ingredients

The Italian version includes bell peppers, celery, carrots, cauliflower and gherkins.[citation needed] The pickled vegetables are marinated in oil, red- or white-wine vinegar, herbs and spices.[citation needed]

Chicago-style giardiniera is commonly made spicy with sport peppers or chili flakes, along with a combination of assorted vegetables, including bell peppers, celery, carrots, cauliflower,[8] and sometimes gherkins or olives,[9] all marinated in vegetable oil, olive oil, soybean oil, or any combination of the three. Some commercially prepared versions are labeled "Chicago-style giardiniera".[10]
