Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup White wine vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 Shallot, finely chopped
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric (optional, for color)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds with the white wine and white wine vinegar. Cover the bowl and let the mixture soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften the seeds.

Step 2

Transfer the soaked mustard seeds and liquid to a medium saucepan. Add the water, finely chopped shallot, minced garlic, honey, salt, and turmeric, if using.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mustard seeds are tender and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 4

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender or a standard blender, puree the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Blend longer for a smoother Dijon mustard or less for a grainier texture.

Step 6

Transfer the Dijon mustard to sterilized jars or airtight containers. Let it cool completely before sealing. For the best flavor, allow the mustard to mature for at least 2–3 days in the refrigerator before use.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months and stir well before each use.
