Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. This mustard gets better with age... If you can leave it in the fridge for a week, it will develop rich flavors. Patience is a virtue.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Add the mustard seeds, filtered water, and wine to a non-reactive container (mason jar), seal, and allow to sit on your counter for 24 hours... 24 hours gives you a deeper mustard flavor. The photo shows how they look after a 24-hour soak.

- 6. THE FLAVORING
- 7. Add the wine and water to a sauce pan over medium heat. When it begins to simmer, add the remaining ingredients.
- 8. Slowly simmer, until the ingredients are infused into the liquid, about 20 minutes.
- 9. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool down for about 30 minutes.
- 10. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
- 11. Add the mustard seeds to the bowl of a food processor.
- 12. Add one or two tablespoons of the flavoring liquid to the blender, and blend.
- 13. Continue adding flavoring liquid, a tablespoon or so at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
- 14. Chef's Note: You will probably have more flavoring liquid that needed... better too much, than not enough.
- 15. PLATE/PRESENT
- 16. Use as you would any good Dijon mustard. Enjoy.
- 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the mustard will be. Look for organic, non-GMO mustard seeds and fresh herbs.
- Toast the mustard seeds: Toasting the mustard seeds brings out their flavor and makes them more pungent. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
- Grind the mustard seeds finely: The finer you grind the mustard seeds, the smoother the mustard will be. You can use a spice grinder, a blender, or a mortar and pestle.
- Use a variety of liquids: You can use water, vinegar, wine, or beer to make mustard. Different liquids will give the mustard different flavors. For example, vinegar will give the mustard a tangy flavor, while wine will give it a more mellow flavor.
- Add herbs and spices: You can add a variety of herbs and spices to your mustard to give it more flavor. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
- Let the mustard rest: After you make the mustard, let it rest for at least 24 hours before using it. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
Conclusion:
French-style mustard is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home, and you can customize it to your own taste. With a little experimentation, you can create your own unique mustard that will be the perfect addition to your next meal.
