Giardiniera

Giardiniera is a traditional mixture of vegetables, usually carrots, pearl onions, cauliflower, bell peppers, and cucumbers. The vegetables are preserved in vinegar, or in some cases, in oil, with the addition of herbs and spices. They're stored in jars, and before serving, giardiniera should be left in a cool place so that the juices from the vegetables come out and the flavors marry.

This relish or condiment can be used with a variety of foods such as sandwiches, bruschettas, burgers, or as an accompaniment to meat, although it's mostly used as an appetizer or with salads.
