Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1. Combine the yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, white vinegar, and water in a medium-sized bowl. Stir well, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 24–48 hours to allow the seeds to soften and absorb most of the liquid.
2. Once the seeds are soaked, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
3. Add honey, ground turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt to the mustard seed mixture.
4. Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a grainier mustard, blend for a shorter time, and for a smoother mustard, blend longer.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If it's too thick, add a small amount of water or vinegar to thin it to your preferred consistency.
6. Transfer the mustard to sterilized glass jars or containers with tight lids.
7. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
8. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Use as a condiment, marinade, or sauce base.
