I was watching an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives over the summer. In one of the restaurants they said something about Bread & Butter Jalapenos, and never said another thing. It was as if a light bulb went on for me. What a brilliant idea! I started making different recipes of Bread & Butter Pickles, subbing out jalapeños, until I finally came up with this version.
They are delicious! I like heat but don’t want my mouth on fire. For that reason when I make these, I remove as many seeds and as much membrane as I can. If you are really into fire, you can leave them in. They are great any place you would use pickles. I love them on a burger and they are phenomenal on a grain bowl. You can add them to a salad or maybe even an egg sandwich. Yes!
I also love Marinated (Pickled) Red Onions. They are also good on all of the above and everything else. Like what I was looking for in the jalapeño, they have a sweetness that takes the edge off of the tartness of an onion. Please send me pictures of how you use these. I really wan to see.
