    Chiltepines en Escabeche
Monday, 26 May 2008
DescriptionIn the states of Sonora and Sinaloa, fresh green and red Chiltepins are preserved in vinegar and salt. They are used as a condiment or are popped into the mouth when eating any food--except, perhaps, oatmeal. Since fresh Chiltepins are not available in the U.S., adventurous cooks and gardeners must grow their own. The tiny chiles are preserved in three layers in a 1 pint, sterilized jar. NOTE: this recipe requires advanced preparation. IngredientsAt a glance
