How to Make Homemade Wholegrain Beer Mustard
If you're a fan of bold, tangy flavors, homemade wholegrain beer mustard is a must-try. This delicious condiment is perfect for sandwiches, pretzels, sausages, and more. Plus, making it at home allows you to customize the flavor to your liking. Here's a simple recipe to get you started.
Ingredients:
120 grams yellow mustard seeds
120 grams brown mustard seeds
240 milliliters dark beer (such as stout or porter)
120 milliliters apple cider vinegar
60 milliliters honey
15 grams salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color)
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
Soak the Mustard Seeds: In a medium bowl, combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds with the beer. Cover and let soak at room temperature for at least 12 hours, or overnight. This allows the seeds to soften and absorb the beer's flavor.
Blend the Mixture: After soaking, transfer the mustard seeds and any remaining liquid to a food processor or blender. Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, turmeric, and allspice. Blend until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother mustard, blend longer; for a coarser texture, blend less.
Adjust the Flavor: Taste the mustard and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more honey for sweetness, more vinegar for tanginess, or more salt to enhance the flavor.
Store the Mustard: Transfer the mustard to a sterilized jar with a tight-fitting lid. Let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 days to allow the flavors to meld. After that, store it in the refrigerator. The mustard will continue to develop its flavor over time and can be kept for several months.
Tips for Using Wholegrain Beer Mustard:
Sandwiches: Spread it on your favorite sandwiches for an extra kick.
Pretzels: Serve it as a dip for soft pretzels.
Sausages: Pair it with grilled sausages or bratwursts.
Marinades: Use it as a base for marinades or salad dressings.
Making your own mustard is a fun and rewarding process that allows you to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. Whether you prefer a spicy kick or a milder taste, you can customize this recipe to suit your palate. Enjoy your homemade wholegrain beer mustard and elevate your meals with its robust flavor!
