Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pickled garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or paprika for a mild version)


Instructions

  1. Drain the Garlic: Open the jar of pickled garlic and drain out the pickling juices completely to prepare the garlic for the spicy marinade.
  2. Add Spices: Pour in 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, and 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or paprika directly into the jar with the garlic.
  3. Seal the Jar: Close the lid tightly to ensure the marinade mixes well without spilling.
  4. Shake to Coat: Shake the jar vigorously so the garlic cloves get fully coated with the spicy and herby mixture evenly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Your spicy pickled garlic is now ready to eat. Enjoy it as a spicy snack or add it to your favorite dishes for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use paprika instead of cayenne pepper if you prefer a milder spice level.
  • Let the jar sit for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld for even better taste.
  • Store the spicy pickled garlic in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks for freshness.
  • Perfect as a garnish or addition to salads, sandwiches, or charcuterie boards.
