Hot Italian Giardiniera

SUBMITTED BY: PHONETEK PHOTO BY: Tripodious

"This is Italian Giardineria. It is wonderful on Chicago style Italian beef sandwiches, sausage sandwiches, French dips, pastas or even as a pizza topping. You can even snack on it as is if you choose. Once you taste it you will figure out what you prefer to use it on."
