1In a large pot add the olive oil. Place over medium-low heat. Add all of the vegetables. Sprinkle with the salt. Stir the mixture for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Avoid browning the vegetables. The goal is to sweat and soften.
-
2Add the water, vinegar, sugar and all herbs. Bring to a rapid boil. Place cover on pot and remove from heat. When mix has completely cooled to room temp, spoon into quart jar with tight fitting lid or covered plastic tub. Be sure to include the bay leaf into the jar.
-
3Refrigerate for at least 3 days before serving (the longer the better). The refrigerated escabeche will last for a few months stored in this manner.
