Antipasto Calabrese
- 2 tbsp gray salt
- 2 heads cauliflower, cut into 1-1/2-inch flowerettes
- 8 carrots, peeled, cut into pieces about 1/2-inch thick
- 4 stalks celery, cut into pieces about 1/2-inch thick
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 lb small button mushrooms, left whole
- 2 jars (7.5 oz each) pepperoncini peppers, drained
- 2 cans (200 grams each) Italian oil-packed tuna, drained
- 1 small tin anchovy with capers, drained
- 1 can (6 oz) black olives, pitted and drained
- 1 jar (7 oz) pimento-stuffed Spanish olives, drained
- 2 pints (16 oz each) tiny Kosher dill pickles, drained
- 1 jar (7.5 oz) pickled onions, drained
- 3 jars (6 1/2 oz each) marinated artichoke hearts
- For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp prepared horseradish
- 3/4 cup canned tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar, plus more for jars
- 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- cayenne pepper
- sea salt, preferably gray salt
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Bring 1 gallon of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add the salt and blanch the cauliflower for about 2 minutes; it should still be crisp. Remove from the water and spread on a baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the carrots and then celery, cooking each one slightly and adding them to the baking sheet to cool.
Add the vinegar to the water (the vinegar will keep the mushrooms white) and blanch the mushrooms for a minute. Remove to the baking sheet.
When the vegetables have cooled, place them in a large mixing bowl and mix with remaining ingredients and the sauce. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or can for longer storage. If canning, process according to manufacturer’s instructions.
For the sauce: Mix all of the ingredients together and combine with the vegetables.
