Has anyone ever made anything like these? The garlic and oil issues worry me a little. Do you think the vinegar is enough to make this a high acid preserve? Thanks. They sound good and look even better. Scroll down for the photos.

“Oil Preserved Stuffed Chilies”

12 long straight New Mexico chilies

1 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 cup parsley, chopped

minced hot chilies, to taste (optional)

Salt

Olive oil to cover the chilies in the jars, about 1 liter

1/2 cup Red Wine or distilled white vinegar

- Clean the chilies and cut of the stem end, use a spoon to remove most of the seeds

- Mix the nuts, garlic, parsley and minced chilies. Season with salt.

- Stuff the chilies with the nut mixture.

- Pack the chilies in large jars, with the cut side facing up. Basically they should look like they are standing on their point end side by side.

- Cover with olive oil till the chilies are fully covered. Top each jar with about 2 Tbsp vinegar.

-Seal the jars. These should be ready to eat in a couple of weeks. They do get softer as they age, but they are tasty non the less.
