Scratch that... Mustard?


The most under rated and generally poor quality condiment in the American pantry. Mustard you know that funny yellow colored stuff that is like ummm welll gross? So how about we do something easy for once? Mustard from scratch is easy simple and tastetastic.


Basic Recipe to build from:

4pts Mustard Powder

3pts Liquid


But now let us work from there two variations to enliven your palette.

Mustard Numero Uno;

'Orange' Mustard

5tbl Yellow Mustard Powder

3tbl Crushed Brown Mustard

1tsp Sumac Berries

3tbl Agave Nectar

1tbl Orange Juice

As needed Cold Water

Combine all ingredients, store refrigerated overnight.


Numero Dous:

Spanish Mustard;

Here I really wanted a spicy fun and red mustard. Something to pretend to play the part of Rouille for my Terrine.... Hense;

1tsp Brown Mustard Seed

1 1/3tbl Crushed Brown Mustard

1 1/3tbl Oriental Mustard Power

5tbl Yellow Mustard Power

1tbl Hungarian Paprika

2tbl Smoked Paprika

3tbl Vinagre Viejo de Montilla

As needed cold water

Combine all ingredients, store refrigerated overnight.


These mustards were brilliantly hot. The flavors matured overnight and were great all over a fine Flax Seed Foccocia. Others will follow. Thoughts are running wild of herbal mustards, Absinthe Mustard, fig mustard... I don't know where to go.....
