Whether you are getting your best friend a great Chicago gift or looking to bulk up your giardiniera game, this is the best deal for you. A whole gallon of Chicago Johnnys Hot Giardiniera that comes in a gallon ready for all of your sandwich and pizza needs. Equivalent in volume to 8 pints, you save money when you get a gallon. Great for putting on the smoker to make smoked Chicago giardiniera (last picture).
*To make smoked giardiniera simply strain your giardiniera and put the oil in one aluminum pan and the vegetables in another. In the cold zone of your smoker you will smoke the oil for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, and the vegetables for a half hour, stirring once in the middle. Cool separately and then combine back into the gallon. Refrigerate your newly smoked giardiniera and use as you would our giardiniera that isn't smoked! I was the first to use smoked giardiniera but Mitch at Wrigley BBQ on Broadway actually smokes our giardiniera in house and uses it on sandwiches. The ONLY smoked giardiniera in the city and probably the first used on menu!
