Pickled Mustard Seeds Recipe - How to Make Pickled Mustard Seeds
Description
This recipe for Pickled Mustard Seeds involves rinsing yellow mustard seeds and soaking them in a vinegar and salt solution for two hours. The seeds are then cooked with honey or sugar, red pepper flakes if using, and black pepper to infuse flavors and soften the seeds. After cooling, additional vinegar is stirred in before storing the seeds in the refrigerator.
The final product offers seeds with a soft texture and a balance of sweet, sour, and mildly spicy notes. Pickled mustard seeds add interesting flavor and texture when used in sauces, dressings, or as a garnish on meat and vegetable dishes.
These seeds keep well refrigerated for several months. If they dry out over time or become too thick, swirling in more vinegar refreshes their moisture and texture, maintaining their usability.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar plus ¼ cup + more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey or more for more sweet and less bitter, or sugar
- ½ - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the mustard seeds with water through a sieve or through a cheese cloth.
- Add the rinsed seeds, 3/4 cup of the apple cider vinegar, and salt to a small bowl and soak for two hours at room temperature.
- Add the soaked mustard seeds to a small pot. Stir in the honey or sugar, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup vinegar and transfer to a sealable jar or container. Keep in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Pickled mustard seeds will keep several months refrigerated.
- If seeds dry out or thicken as they absorb liquid, swirl in more vinegar to keep moist.
