Bordeaux Mustard [Gift idea]
List of Ingredients
2/3 cup yellow mustard seeds
1/2 cup brown mustard seeds
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry red wine
4 cloves garlic; minced
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp white wine worcestershire sauce
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1 tsp dried majoram
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp turmeric
Recipe
In a nonaluminum pot or jar, combine the mustard seeds, vinegar, wine, and
garlic; cover and soak for 48 hours, adding additional vinegar and wine (in the correct
proportions) if necessary to maintain enough liquid to cover the seeds.
Scrape the soaked seeds into a food processor. Add the remaining
ingredients and process until the mustard turns from a liquid and seeds to
a creamy mixture flecked with seeds. This takes 3 to 4 minutes, so be patient. Add additional vinegar as necessary to create a nice creamy mustard, keep in mind that it will thicken slightly upon standing. This mustard benefits from a week or two of aging.
