Chuck Hughes built his name on Iron Chef America and behind the pass at Garde Manger and Le Bremner in Old Montreal, and this jar is exactly the kind of big-flavoured, no-fuss condiment he'd have sitting on a grazing board before service even started. It's a proper mixed-vegetable antipasto — sweet peppers, eggplant, cauliflower, olives and more — packed in oil and vinegar with nothing shy about it. Built for people who want their cheese board to do more than sit there looking pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront is tangy vinegar and canola oil carrying a proper hit of garlic. Mid palate you get the full vegetable medley doing its thing — sweet peppers and eggplant softening into cauliflower, carrot and celery crunch, with olives, capers and fennel adding salty, aniseed edges. Finish is savoury and mild, no heat to speak of, just clean vegetable and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to cook with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpoon over soft scrambled or fried eggs for a proper weekend brekkie upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScatter it across a pizza in the last few minutes of cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with grilled fish for an instant sauce that needs zero effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayer onto a steak sandwich or alongside a grilled steak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRogue move: fold it through mayo for the fastest antipasto dip you'll ever make\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the jar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a rustic, chunky mix — visible pieces of pepper, eggplant, cauliflower and olive suspended in a light golden oil and vinegar dressing.
