Embrace the jars of pickles in your fridge or pantry. Here are 10 uses for that jar of pickled jalapeños.

10 uses for pickled jalapeños
Try them in a simple black bean and tomato stew, and sprinkle a few extra on top, like with my black bean burrito bowls.
Add them to a Mexican style cheezy dip – I love this vegan queso blanco from Veggies Don’t Bite. If you do not want to make a dip I can vouch that chopped pickled jalapeños are very good with melted cheese – chop the chillis, cover with grated cheese and microwave until melted.
Top some fully laden nachos with picked chillis, ideal for a casual Saturday night supper on the sofa with friends, wine or beer and some telly. Get Sarah’s recipe for black bean nachos. (via Maison Cupcake)
Spice up your baking and add some heat to these mini cornbreads ideal for topping a bowl of chilli. (via Feeding Boys)
Chop and add pickled jalapenos to a quick cook cheesy soda bread as the ideal accompaniment to a bowl of soup for a weekday lunch (via FabFood4All).
When making cupcakes for a party add a piece of pickled jalapeño to one or two of them for game of chilli Russian Roulette.
Use pickled jalapeños to perk up a shop pizza, or make your own mini muffin pizza caprese topped with chilli (via Tinned Tomatoes).
Whizz some up with coconut milk, lime juice and coriander to make a quick Thai curry sauce.
Use some of the pickling water in salad dressings, or mix with a little mayonnaise for a dressing for a potato salad.
Chop with herbs, add some oil and lemon zest to make a quick chimichurri style jalapeño relish.

A fabulous array of ideas to use Baxters Jalapenos, thanks for linking to my soda bread:-)
Thanks Camilla, we love pickled chillies here.
Here’s another one — I use them on my smoked fish dip appetizers — it adds a zing!
That sounds a fantastic use. We love pickled chillis and jalapeños here.
Helen thank you so much for these ideas! I eat pickled jalapenos out of the jar – I knoe I can have no manners at times – but these are some wonderful ways to enjoy they – think am gonna have to try the nachos tonight! :)
Fro the jar is a great idea, as long as they are not to hot!
Wow! I would have never thought of this! Bet that they’re great with pickles.
We love them!
Super helpful roundup! I always have these in my fridge
I aim to help with clearing out your fridge !
I’m a chili head from way back, I’d eat these right out of the jar!!
I like them with melted cheese.
Oh this is brilliant! I love pickled jalapenos–and now I know I’ll use it more for sure!!
there are so many uses for them!
I love the quick thai sauce idea. These jars of pickles are so handy (and tasty), loving them.
So quick and easy to make!
I’m very taken with the idea of these jalapeños as I am by the Mexican cheesy dip.
I see that dip in my immediate future!
I really like this version as they’re bigger than other jalapenos in jars and you get red ones. Lots of lovely ideas here!
I love the red ones. So much more interesting.
