Dill Mustard
Ever wonder why mustard is a natural companion to hot dogs or other grilled foods? First and foremost, the spicy flavor and popping texture of grainy mustard naturally highlight the meaty heaviness. Dill’s aroma imparts a slight licorice and lemon accent. Together they charm as a perfect accompaniment, avoiding artificial flavors and preservatives used in commercial mustard. Did I mention that it is easy to make?
Onward:
If possible, use both yellow and brown mustard seeds. The brown mustard seeds are hotter; however, if you prefer a milder version, use all yellow mustard seeds. Both are healthy sinus-clearing, cancer-fighting, and inflammation/cholesterol-lowering modifiers. Dill, on the other hand, is bacteria-inhibiting and carcinogen-regulating effects (like on charred grilled foods). Together they are healthy and delicious!
1 ½ cups (24-1 tablespoon servings)
INGREDIENTS:
¼ cup yellow mustard seeds
¼ cup brown mustard seeds
½ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup filtered water
2 teaspoons local honey or Swerve Confectioner’s Sweetener (for a no-sugar alternative)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon dry dillweed or 2 tablespoons fresh dillweed
DIRECTIONS:
Combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds with the vinegar and water in a glass or stainless-steel bowl. Cover tightly and let sit for two days. The seeds will soak up the liquid and expand.
Place the mustard and vinegar-water with the honey or sweetener, turmeric, and dillweed in a blender. Blend until a paste consistency forms. Many seeds will remain. Put in a glass jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to six months.
