Pretty Pickled Giardiniera: 3 Super Bowl Party Ideas
Three ways to use our yummy giardiniera this Super Bowl Sunday!
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, it's time to start planning what to serve at your party! If you're looking for a flavorful twist to elevate your dish, Pretty Pickled Giardiniera is the perfect ingredient. A recipe given to me by my brother is one of our most popular relishes. Here are three delicious ways to incorporate this full-of-flavor condiment into your Super Bowl feast:
Chicago-Style Roast Beef Sandwiches
If you have ever been to Illinois, (i.e Chicago), you know that the roast beef sandwich is a winner. Especially for game day. Use Pretty Pickled Giardiniera as a topping for Chicago-style roast beef sandwiches. The spicy crunch of the giardiniera perfectly complements the rich, savory flavors of roast beef. The most important question is, do you like it dipped or the gravy on the side? I like it dipped... my mom, not so much.
Quick Tip: Try the pressure cooker roast beef recipe from Pinch of Yum for an easy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Correction: This beef recipe is absolutely incredible!!! My family could not get enough. Layer pieces of roast beef on a soft Italian roll, melt a slice of provolone, and top with the giardiniera. Don’t forget to serve it with a side of au jus for dipping. So, so good. Your friends will be raving about these sandwiches long after the game ends!
2. Deviled Eggs
Elevate your classic deviled eggs by adding a spoonful of Pretty Pickled Giardiniera. Simply chop the giardiniera and mix it with the yolks, mayo, and mustard for a unique, savory flavor that will have your friends coming back for seconds.
Do you hate peeling eggs? I can totally relate. My go-to technique is tapping and breaking the top and bottom parts of the eggshell. Begin carefully peeling the egg under cold running water, starting from the larger end and working your way down.
Presentation Idea: Garnish each egg with an extra piece of giardiniera on top for a pop of color and added texture. Unless you have a cool deviled egg-holding plate, try placing the eggs on a bed of arugula to hold them in place. These bite-sized treats are sure to be a hit!
3. Pasta Salad Perfection:
When your friend asks for you to bring a salad to the party, try a pasta salad. It’s incredibly easy to make and 100% delicious. Mix cooked pasta with a generous amount of grated parmesan, rinsed garbanzo beans, and the entire jar of Pretty Pickled Giardiniera. I promise it’s so good it will be hard to stop tasting it. Your friend will thank you.
Presentation Idea: Drizzle over the top a bit more olive oil and grated parmesan.
These three ideas are not only easy to prepare but also bring a burst of flavor that’s perfect for a Super Bowl party. Grab a jar of Pretty Pickled Giardiniera, or maybe three, and get ready to impress your friends with these perfect game day dishes. Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
