These pickled radishes are my go-to if I'm making tacos, quesadillas, or really any kind of sandwich. They are so quick and easy and are just the perfect thing to perk up anything slow-roasted or long-simmered. Best of all, they're ready in under an hour and last for weeks.

1/4cupwater
2teaspoonskosher salt
1/2teaspoonmustard seeds
1/4teaspooncoriander seeds

Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients except the radishes in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes while you prep the radishes.
Trim the leafy tops off and wash the radishes. Thinly slice and place in a pint jar.
When the brine has cooled a bit, pour it into the jar, making sure to cover the radishes completely. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Seal the jar with a tightfitting lid and shake or rotate it to evenly distribute the brine and spices. The pickles will be ready in about an hour, but are best after a few hours. Store them in the refrigerator and they will keep for about a week.
