Giardiniera are spicy pickled vegetables; the heat varies depending on the amount of hot peppers in the product.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil
  • 1 1/2  cups  green bell pepper strips
  • 2  teaspoons  bottled minced garlic
  • 1  teaspoon  dried oregano
  • 1  (14 1/4-ounce) can low-salt beef broth
  • 1  pound  thinly sliced deli roast beef
  • 4  (3-ounce) submarine rolls, toasted
  • 1/2  cup  bottled giardiniera (such as Cento), drained

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and garlic; sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in oregano and broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Loved this recipe. Husband made sure to let me know it's ok to make this again! Easy, quick and flavorful. I used another kind of pickled veggie since the one this recipe asks for was over 5 bucks at the grocery store. Also threw in some onions with the peppers.01/09/10

I make a variation of this recipe with a chuck roast, 2 jars of gardeniera - with juices ( 1 mild 1 spicy), a can of consumme, and a drained jar of spicy cherry peppers. I sear the roast, then pop into the crock with all the other ingredients, and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours. Drain the au jus, and put the veggies on the side. Usually, I try to make this a day ahead and de-fat the jus and reheat with the meat. Serve like a french dip with shredded beef on the bread with veggies and au jus. YUMMY!01/08/10
