Pickled Eggs with Dill

Eggs

Have you ever pickled your own eggs before? Now’s your chance!

Pickled eggs are delicious! Serve them on a bed of spinach greens, and they make a perfect nutritious snack to grab when on the go.

12 large eggs
1 red onion, sliced
Small bundle of fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 clove garlic, halved
1 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons salt

Fill a large saucepan with water (enough to cover the dozen eggs that you will add). Bring the water to a simmer (not a boil!) and then gently add in the eggs by lowering them in with a spoon, one by one. Set your timer to 12 minutes and allow eggs to simmer. Then turn off heat, remove the eggs from the pot, and run them under cold water. You can gently pour the pot of eggs through a metal strainer and then run cold water over them. Peel the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring all other ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.

Pour mixture into a large jar (or two smaller jars), and add the hard-boiled eggs and allow to cool for several minutes. Once cool enough, refrigerate. Your eggs will need anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to pickle. Once ready though, they will stay good for quite a long time.

About Mustard Seeds

It’s so easy to make your own mustard!

Homemade mustard can offer you some of the same valuable nutritional benefits as kale and other leafy greens in the brassica family. Isothiocyanates are the phytochemical compounds studied in brassica family plants that may offer protection against gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers.

Mustard seeds are also high in the minerals selenium and magnesium. Selenium is therapeutic for people with asthma as it can help to reduce symptoms. It is also an important mineral for the health of your thyroid gland. Magnesium can help to lower high blood pressure. Mustard seeds are also a good source of vegetarian omega 3 fatty acids, great for decreasing inflammation in your body and supporting the health of your brain.

Pickled Chard Stems

Not sure what to do with chard stems? Pickle them!

Many people like to lightly steam chard greens for their health benefits. But don’t throw the stems away! Once pickled, they can be added to salads or sandwiches, or just munched as is.

1 pound chard stems (from about 4 bunches), cut into 4″ lengths
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons Nash’s black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

Toss the chard stems and shallot slices in the salt and let them stand in a colander in a sink for 1 hour. Rinse and drain well.

Meanwhile, toast the mustard and caraway seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until mustard seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Let cool.

Bring the vinegar, sugar, and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; let cool slightly. Pour brine into jars. Let cool slightly, add chard stems, shallots, and seeds, then cover and chill for 24 hours. They will last for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.

Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce

Add a bit of mustard spice to your Nash’s pork chops!

2 Nash’s pork chops, about 1 pound total weight
2 teaspoons oil
1/2 cup hard cider
1 tablespoon fresh-ground mustard (see our Whole Grain Mustard recipe)
1/3 cup heavy cream

Cut the fat or rind off the chops, then pound them with a rolling pin or meat mallet to make them thinner. Heat the oil in a pan, then cook the chops over a moderately high heat for about 5 minutes a side. Remove them to a warmed plate.

Pour the cider into the pan, still over the heat, to deglaze the pan. Let it bubble away for a minute or so, then add the mustard and stir in the cream. Let the sauce continue cooking for a few minutes before pouring over each plated pork chop. Gnocchi (potato dumplings) make a great accompaniment. Make sure you turn them in the pan to absorb any spare juices.
