Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (90 g) mustard seeds
  • 5 tablespoons (75 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Scant 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • In a powerful food processor, combine the mustard seeds, water, maple syrup, oil, one-third of the vinegar, the turmeric, the cayenne, and the salt and process on high speed.
  • (If it is not powerful, you will end up with more whole seeds, which is okay but not ideal.)
  • Once you start, the seeds will bounce around like money in a money cage.
  • When the seeds stop bouncing around, slowly add the rest of the vinegar.
  • When the blade stops spinning well and the mustard is thick, its ready.
  • Transfer to a tightly capped jar and store in the fridge for up to a month.
