Two CUPS of mustard seeds? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThe correct measurement of mustard seeds is probably two tablespoons.
ReplyDeleteThese pickles have tons of mustard seeds. Don't scrimp!
DeleteI'm sitting at Cochon in NOLA right now...just asked the chef, it's cups. Not tablespoons.
DeleteI made them this summer. I used cups and that is WAY too much. You can't even fill the liquid into the jars until you empty cups and cups of mustard seeds. It has to be tablespoons. After I removed the seeds, I was finally able to see the liquid. With that being said...the pickles taste exactly like the ones they jar there. I have a jar from there now and I compared them. They are identical and are very crisp after being jarred for 3 months.
Deleteanyone found the greens recipe
ReplyDeleteTable salt? Kosher salt (Diamond or Morton)?
