Giardinera

Chicago Style Giardiniera

As I can't get this in the store, I made some myself. It's decent though it can be bettered, mostly by using different peppers than I had (jalapenos and some smaller bell peppers, I want to switch to serranos).

All vegetables should be cut up into small pieces.

Chicago style Italian beef

In the NY area you can get all manners of Italian food. Alas for me it's not really like the Italian food of Chicago, or at least you can't get the classic Chicago style Italian beef sandwich. However I found a jar of hot giardinera at the grocery store that's a passable imitation of the real thing with olives, hot peppers, cauliflower, celery, and carrots in olive oil.
