This a very tasty side for any food, we have not tried it on sandwiches but on vegetables, meat well anything we might be eating for supper,

Also, it is very salty so make sure you rinse it a lot or lower the salt to 1/3 cup instead of 1/4 cup.

I used 3 serrano peppers and they were very hot, so can't imagine using 8...

Thanks Jeff for a great recipe.

I would rate this excellent if not for the saltiness. I rinsed it thoroughly in a colander since it tasted salty after Day 1. I thought perhaps the oil would dilute the saltness but it didn't. I'm glad I didn't double the recipe because I fear I will have to toss it out. It does look good in the mason jar though. This is coming from a salt lover. Perhaps the recipe is wrong and he meant Kosher salt -- I used Morton's salt. I will make this again with WAY less salt. Also, my serranos must have been wimpy -- I used 6 and it wasn't really that hot.

This is delicious. Love that the veggies are crunchy throughout. The flavor is wonderful and we put it on so many other things than just Italian Beef. It's great. Love Jeff's recipes and so glad that he goes to the different places in the Chicago area. As we live about an hour from Chicago we will be going to some of the places that he has on his show. Thanks Jeff and thanks Food Network for a great show.

What can I say? I'm a Chicago guy and I love this! Jeff's recipe is fantastic. Don't be afraid of this stuff, folks -- it's awesome! You will not only love the flavor of the giardiniera but the crunch of the veggies makes any sandwich sing. I like to add some green olives to my giardiniera for a little extra something. I tend to like my giardiniera a bit on the mild side, so I use poblano or banana peppers instead of serranos. One hint: When you do "step 2" of the recipe, be sure to give the veggies a fairly thorough rinse -- otherwise it might be too salty for your taste. Throw this stuff into a clean pasta sauce jar and it'll get better every day.

If there were more stars to give i'd give them. I almost didn't know it wasn't spicy enough for me when I made it the first time cuz it tasted so good. What I appreciate is that CRISPY veggies are through out. I ususally pick though the jar trying to find the few crunchie bites but with the recipes everything is crunchy. I have to take the opportunity to say that changes to the kitchen were greatly appreciated. Last season the only thing i didn't enjoy was the kitchen. And now I spend many a weekend tracing your steps to all the great markets and restuarants. So fun to see some of my favorite places are yours also. Go Johnny's

So good by itself, excellent on his Italian beef sandwich. I am really glad the show is back on. I can't wait to try some of Jeff's new recipes!

Honestly it is good on its own, but I do not care for all the oil. However on top of his Italian beef sandwich it was the perfect topper, loved it on that. :
