Looking for good mustard recipe

[Carmella]

Hi,

I need mustard for Rawvolution's tuna salad recipe but have to make my own. Does anyone have a good one to suggest?

Thanks!

I like my mustards coarse and grainy. Here are two recipes.

GRAINY MUSTARD

generous 1/2 cup black mustard seeds
1/3 cup plus 2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
1/2 cup vinegar of choice (I use raw white wine vinegar, yum)
1 shallot, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon raw sea salt of choice (I REALLY like the Guerande stuff better than Celtic, but I digress).

Soak the mustard seeds and vinegar in non reactive bowl, I use glass, for 24 hours.

Stire in the shallot and crush the seeds into a coarse paste using whatever you have (back of wooden spoon, rolling pin, pestle and mortar, etc.) Add a little more vinegar if necessary. Store in fridge or winecellar/cold room for t weeks before using.


TARRAGON MUSTARD

1/3 cup plust 2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
almost 1 cup black mustard seeds
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vinegar of choice
7 Tablespoons white wine (YES IT'S RAW)
leaves from a sprig of Tarragon, or more to taste
1 T salt.

Almost the same instructions as previous recipe, only grind the mustard seeds a little first, then pour the water on them, leave them 10 minutes, then add the rest and proceed. The longer you grind the mustard seeds the hotter/stronger the mustard.

Thanks Wayne!

I've never been a big mustard fan so feel really out of my depth.

I decided to make Kristen Suzanne's recipe but I'm finding it quite sweet. Based on what you posted, I'll try adding some black mustard seeds and more ACV. *fingers crossed*

Carmi, I made Matt's tuna salad recipe and since I didn't have any raw mustard, so here's what I added: mustard powder, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt, until I felt the taste was to my liking - I have been a fan of dijon mustard and was happy that this combo worked for me

Thanks girlie, that's good to know if I need mustard in a pinch. My first attempt at mustard turned out quite well in the end. Manu was impressed (which is saying a lot, being the Chef that he is).

Carmella try this:
Maple Honey Mustard
3 Tbsp Brown mustard seeds
2 Tbsp Raw honey
2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp ACV
2 Tbsp Nama Shoyu

Blend all ingredients till smooth, store in a glass jar with lid in refrigerator.

Oh wow, that sounds lovely! Thanks erin. (huh, that's your name, right? I keep spelling your username wrong, just won't stick in my mind! )

Do you need to soak the mustard seeds or can you use them dry?

[rawererin]

yep that's my name, I was real creative with my username huh? lol.
you can use the mustard seeds dry, but if you want to go ahead and soak them, the recipe I listed uses them dry though.
