<p class="summary"><strong></strong><em>Giardiniera means from the garden. This is one of my favorite sandwich toppers. This is a mixture of<br />
clean fresh vegetables, chili’s for spice olive oil and a touch of vinegar. My very favorite is a hot roast<br />
beef and cheese sandwich with giardiniera! Some other great ways I like to incorporate giardinaria with<br />
scrambled eggs, almost any sandwich, with grilled sausage, just spread on good Italian grilled bread is<br />
awesome, on hot dogs, burgers or whatever you want. I don’t use any real measurement and when I<br />
make it I jar a few cases, enough to get me through the year. You can make a much smaller amount.<br />
This will be for about 4 cups roughly. </em></p>
