Fry the onion, peppers and carrots in the vegetable oil for just a few minutes to make the vegetables soft, then add the vinegar and spices and boil 3 or 4 min. Let cool and then keep in glass jars. Use immediately or keep them in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 weeks. 
Variations: You can add cloves of garlic and cauliflower, or add the spices you like. If you add more ingredients need also to add more vinegar and oil. The peppers and vegetables need to be covered with oil and vinegar. If you like you can use less oil and more vinegar.
