Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Mustard seed, yellow/white
1½ tablespoon Cumin seed

2 teaspoons Fennel seed
2 teaspoons Black peppercorns
2 teaspoons Red pepper flakes, or less to taste

Directions

OPTIONAL

From: January, 1995 Food Guide column by Jerry Anne DiVecchio This is a great ingredient. Whole seeds can keep their flavor for years, but once in liquid, they become soft and easy to chew, while retaining their individual integrty. Makes a great gift! The proportions don't need to be precise.

Substitute ground seeds if you have to. Store in a cool dark place.

USE to flavor the water to cook vegetables like artichokes. Just dump some seeds generously into the boiling water. Add to vegetable soup purees -- like carrot. Add to braised meats for roasts and stews, like Succulent Lamb Shanks (Sunset) see recipe.
