MUSTARD MADE WITH LOVE?
The day I got my mustard seeds I was planning on making some mustard for dinner. I thought I would just grind up some seeds and it would magically turn into stone ground deliciousness. I mentioned this to my family and they laughed. Turns out the turnaround time is slightly longer, but pretty simple!
How I made it:
One cup of organic yellow mustard seeds
One cup of organic black mustard seeds
Poured into a glass dish
Covered with two cups of apple cider vinegar
Let the seeds soak for two days
Grind the seeds with a mortar & pestle (chunkier, as seen in the picture above) or in a blender/food processor (which is quicker, obviously, but I like to make it with more love)
Add a pinch of Icelandic Flake salt (Code: SATIATEDBLONDE to save) & pepper & one fourth cup of raw, organic honey (Code: GETSATIATED to save)
Stir
Let sit at least three days*
*I tasted every day though, it is amazing how much the flavor changes! At first it was wasabi-ish, it tasted the best about 2 weeks after it had been in fridge*
Then, I found myself putting it on everything! I really like to use it as my salad dressing mixed with a little more apple cider vinegar and olive oil. I cannot wait to make another batch (and I need to, I ate all of this already). What would I do different? Maybe a half cup of black seeds & one and a half cups of yellow seeds (it was quite spicy)! I am also curious about adding some turmeric next time!
If I don’t have homemade on hand and need some in a pinch, I might use a few of these: mustard, mustard, and more mustard! #GetSatiated
