Whole mustard seed

onytay · Feb 3, 2012

Going to run 50 lbs of SS through the smokehouse this weekend, the place I used to have do it for me used whole mustard seed in their recipe. I picked some up to add into mine and was wondering where to start on how much to add? What would be a good starting point?

I add 2 TBSP to 5 lbs of meat.

Ontay, evening.... Here is Len Poli's SS Or Beef stick recipe...

Looks like for 50#'s you would add 15 gms of seed... In some instances, folks have mentioned warming the seeds in a skillet to enhance their aroma and flavor... I guess that does something to the oils which can be a very nice addition to any recipe....

Good stuffin' ... Dave

I don't know if this would make a difference or not, but this is venison SS. Thought I would add that in case it matters.

I use the same as Joel, but I also heap them so probably closer to Ricks...LOL

believe it or not whole mustard seed is one of the reasons I decided to try and make sausage.... when I was a kid I remember all the good keilbassa around here had it in there, and then as I got older it didn't have it any more so I wanted to try and make some,

I know it is not a normal ingredient to Keilbassa, but around here every butcher shop has their own recipe it seems

They all sound good.....What about some recipes and finish pictures.....

I know...Right? I never heard of it or tasted Kielbasa with Mustard seed until about 6 months ago...We bought some from a couple of places about 1 hour north east of me and it had Mustard Seed...I thought it was pretty tasty, a little weird, but good...JJ

I put mustard seed in my kielbasa. I like mustard seed.

onytay · Feb 4, 2012

I can't supply the recipe as I purchased a seasoning blend from my local butcher shop. I am on the hunt though for a good SS recipe! Ill get some pics up tommorow after I finish them and the big game is over.

I even put mustard seed in my beef sticks

I'm a big fan of mustard seed myself. My wife said to me the other day when organizing the spices "just how much mustard seed do you need anyway?!" lol

big casino · Feb 4, 2012

I was tempted to add some to the snack sticks I made today.

You certainly can't discount the presentation factor.

I like the presentation factor as well
