Fermented Mustard With Honey And Horseradish
Ingredients:
– 1 cup yellow mustard seeds
– 1/4 cup brown mustard seeds
– 1 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons grated horseradish
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
– Water, as needed
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds. Add enough water to cover the seeds completely. Let the seeds soak overnight to soften and expand.
2. After soaking, drain the water from the seeds and transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, grated horseradish, and sea salt to the blender.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired thickness.
4. Transfer the mustard mixture into a clean jar or airtight container. Make sure to leave some room at the top as the mustard will expand during fermentation.
5. Loosely cover the jar with a lid or a clean cloth secured with a rubber band. Allow the mustard to ferment at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. Check on it occasionally and give it a gentle stir.
6. Taste the mustard after a few days to check if it has reached your desired level of fermentation. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can let it ferment for a few more days.
7. Once the mustard has fermented to your liking, store it in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process. The flavor will continue to develop over time.
8. Enjoy your homemade Fermented Mustard with Honey and Horseradish on sandwiches, hot dogs, pretzels, or as a versatile ingredient in your cooking.
Experiment with different variations by adding spices like garlic, turmeric, or smoked paprika to customize the flavor to your preference. This fermented mustard not only adds a zesty kick to your dishes but also provides gut-friendly probiotics due to the fermentation process. It’s a wonderful addition to your condiment collection and a great way to elevate your culinary creations with a homemade touch.
