Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown mustard seeds
  • 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups high-quality dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 small yellow onion finely minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoons honey optional

Method
 

  1. In a large glass bowl, combine brown and yellow mustard seeds. Pour in the white wine and white wine vinegar. Stir to ensure all seeds are submerged.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours. The seeds will absorb the liquid and soften considerably.
  3. After soaking, transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the minced onion, garlic, salt, white pepper, and allspice.
  4. Process until you reach your desired consistency. For traditional Dijon texture, process for 3-5 minutes until smooth with some whole seeds remaining for texture. For a smoother mustard, blend longer.
  5. If using honey, add it now and pulse a few more times to incorporate.
  6. Transfer the mustard to sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least one week before using. This aging period allows the flavors to mellow and develop fully.
  7. After aging, your homemade Dijon mustard is ready to enjoy! It will keep refrigerated for up to 6 months.
