Despite being pickled, these chiles have a fresh crunch and bright, garlicky flavor. If you cook them, they lose that; add them to finished dishes, particularly pizzas. This recipe is from Joe Beddia, the dough master behind Philadelphia's cult favorite, Pizzeria Beddia.

  • If you gave me this recipe and told me it would change my food life I would be a little skeptical. Four mundane ingredients dumped in a jar? Okay. I only made these the first time because I had too many jalapenos and didn't know what to do with them. BUT for the past year I have eaten these little spicy rounds of green heaven on at least one meal a week. Pizza, popcorn, stir fry, nachos, burgers, meatloaf - you name it I've done it. Don't even get me STARTED on the juice. Soup a little boring? Chili juice. Need a spicy, salty kick to your mixed drink? Chili juice. No one looking and you need a little swig of something? Chili juice. If you enjoy spicy, garlicky things I'm sorry about the beginning of your life long addiction.
