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.
- 5. Dump the mustard seeds into a fine mesh strainer, and discard any remaining liquid.
- 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.
