Mustard Pickled Vegetables- A Winter Delight

This is a recipe that shows you how to preserve in the Fall different vegetables from the garden using mustard, oil and vinegar as main ingredients.

Canning seems to be a forgotten skill in the modern times and few people enjoy doing it or finding it necessary.

With the abundance of fruits and vegetables all year long in the supermarkets, there is no need to can anymore as our ancestors used to do it for survival reasons.

People used to eat in season and if you did not can over the summer and early in the fall you had no food for the winter, which was a big problem.

I grew up back in Eastern Europe, in the 70’s and 80’s when we did not have supermarkets.

We were used to buy vegetables from the Farmers Markets, eat in season and can everything under the sun for the winter.

It did not matter if you lived in a village or a city, this was the norm if you wanted to eat well during the cold season.

This recipe in particular is a dear one to me. It is a family heirloom that went from one generation to another and shared among women in the family.

I was not sure how to call it, as it is not a relish,  but more like a cold vegetable salad that we serve as an appetizer, or next to any kind of roasted meats, as a side dish.

I sometimes eat it on a slice of homemade bread, as a light lunch.

It is tangy, mustardy, delicious, keeps well for months and it is very different that any regular pickled vegetables you might tasted before.

Few notes before we start making these mustard pickled vegetables:

-The biggest amount of work for this recipe is chopping the vegetables, but in the modern world, we always have options. A food processor makes your life easier, so please make yourself a gift and get one.

-The amount of ingredients can be adjusted based on your needs. This is the original recipe we used to start with. If you want to make more or just half of it, it is perfectly OK to do so.

-Also, make sure you clean and sterilize your jars before using them. As I hope you already know, this is the most important rule of canning. If you don’t sterilize the jars properly, you either get sick from the food, or the food spoils before you get to enjoy it.  If you do not know how to get the jars ready for canning, here is some information.

How to make this Mustard Pickled Vegetables:

Step 1.

First of all, clean the vegetables, peel the ones that need to be peeled, wash everything. Use a food processor to slice all vegetables.

Step 2.

In a big pot, bring to a boil the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and bay leaves.

When the sugar and salt dissolve and the mixture comes to a boil, throw the vegetables in the pot in the following order: carrots, celeriac, onions, peppers and finally the green tomatoes.

Bring the pot back to a boil and keep the vegetables only 3 minutes from the time the pot started to boil again.

Remove them with a spatula and place them in a big bowl.

You will not need the vinegar and water solution anymore after that.

Step 3.

Mix the mustard and the oil separately, like a mayonnaise.

Pour the mustard sauce over the mix of vegetables in the bowl and mix well.

Fill up the jars with this vegetable mixture, close the jars tight and process the jars  10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
