Condiment Essentials: French Style Dijon Mustard image

This is my third posting for mustard. The first one was an excellent mild yellow mustard. The second one came from the fiery depths of Hades. In fact, it was so hot, that when I tried some, it set my hair, and the curtains on fire. However, it is an excellent mustard to use in the flavoring of soups and stews... A little goes a...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE SOAK
1/2 c yellow mustard seeds
1 c dry white wine
1/4 c filtered water
THE FLAVORING
1 c dry white wine
1/2 c filtered water
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp sugar, granulated variety
1 tsp salt, kosher variety, or to taste

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.
