Ingredients:

1 kilo of chilies or jalapenos
5 cloves of garlic
Onion
3 bay leaves
Pepper
3 carrots, chopped into slices
a spoonful of sugar
Cloves
a tablespoon of salt
3 marjoram leaves
A cup of white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
A cup of water

Preparation:

1. It is necessary to place the vegetable oil in a pot to boil, add the carrots and fry for 10 minutes.  Later, the chiles are poured together with the onion and garlic.

2. Sauté all the previous ingredients and mix for approximately 8 minutes.  The idea is that the texture of the vegetables is crispy and not overcooked.

3. Vinegar, water and spices such as marjoram, bay leaf, sugar and salt are also added.
