Zuni Cafe Zucchini Pickles

Name: Zuni Cafe Zucchini Pickles
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 pound zucchini; 1 small yellow onion; 2 tablespoon salt, a little more if using kosher; 2 cup cider vinegar; 1 cup sugar; 1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard; 1 1/2 teaspoon crushed yellow and/or brown mustard seeds; 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

This recipe comes from The Zuni Cafe Cookbook and is yet another solution to the question: What to do with all of those zucchini? A cold brine prior to pickling gives these zucchini pickles a saturated flavor and crisp texture. These pickles are on the sweet side, but I suggest making them once as-is before tailoring to your liking on subsequent batches. Moreover, they do not taste too sweet when layered atop a burger.
