Pickled Chard Stems
by Dishing Up the Dirt
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Serves: 1 pint
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chopped chard stems (from about 1 large bunch of chard)
- 2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 1/2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
Preparation
- Place the chopped chard stems in a glass bowl or large mason jar and set aside.
- Toast the brown mustard seeds in a saucepan for about 1 minute. Add the vinegar, water, honey and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the honey has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the peppercorns and let the brine cool for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the brine over the chopped chard and cover the jar with a secure lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
