Jimmy Mustard Recipe
Equipment
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 3/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- To grind seeds, first use either a spice grinder or food processor with a small jar. If those are unavailable, you can also use a mortar and pestle but it will take time. Finely-ground mustard will be smoother and creamier. If you prefer a chunkier texture, then blend it a little less.
- Mix mustard powder with the other spices.
- Put some water into a pan, along with the spice mix. Leave the vinegar out for now. Put it on a low heat and cook for 45 minutes until boiling.
- When spreading the vinegar, heat it up for a few minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally so that it doesn’t stick at the bottom of the pan. After about 5-10 minutes, pour this mixture through a different container to cool down. Leave it until it has cooled completely before transferring into refrigerator.
- Place into a well sealed glass jar and store in the fridge. The flavor will mellow out after about 24 hours, though sometimes it can take as long as 48 hours.
Overall, Jimmy mustard is loved by a lot because it is a really nice mustard that goes excellently with sandwiches. Ever tried it before? Liked it or not?
