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]
A milder variety of giardiniera is used for the olive salad in the muffuletta sandwich. [8]
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, [9] and sometimes gherkins or olives, [10] all marinated in vegetable oil, olive oil, soybean oil, or any combination of the three. Some commercially prepared versions are labeled "Chicago-style giardiniera". [11]
