Ingredients

½ cup coarse ground mustard 

2 canned chipotles in adobo sauce 

1 tbsp. adobo sauce 

Instructions

Pickled Charred Peppers

Ingredients

1 red bell pepper 

1 green bell pepper 

1 yellow bell pepper 

1.5 cups apple cider vinegar 

2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed 

½ tsp. Kosher salt 

2 tsp. sugar 

¼ tsp. dried oregano 

¼ tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped 

¼ tsp. fresh thyme  

Instructions

Prepare grill for high heat cooking.  Place the red, yellow and green bell peppers on the grill and allow them to cook until completely charred, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.  Remove the peppers from the grill and allow them to cool completely.  Remove the stem, core, and seeds from the peppers then cut in to ¼ inch slices.  Combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and place the saucepan on the grill.  Allow the pickling mixture to come to a boil, stirring frequently to make sure all of the salt and sugar completely dissolve.  Remove the mixture from the grill and allow it to cool completely.  Place sliced peppers in a mason jar and cover with the pickling mixture. Place the lid on the jar and refrigerate for a minimum of four hours.
