Imagine a savory blend of whole grain mustard, sweet honey, and rich beer, creating the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Well, look no further because today, we're diving into the world of Whole Grain Honey Beer Mustard - a condiment that will elevate any dish it touches.
Whether you're a mustard enthusiast or just looking to add some excitement to your meals, this recipe is as delicious as it is simple. Just a few simple ingredients and a blender is all you need.
Mustard only needs two ingredients to make at home: mustard seed (or ground mustard) and liquid.
What makes it special is what you add to it. The bright yellow stuff you put on your burgers or hot dogs adds turmeric for the yellow color plus a little paprika and garlic for extra flavor. Dijon mustard uses white wine instead of vinegar, plus a little sugar to balance the spice.
Ingredients for Whole Grain Honey Beer Mustard
You can probably guess the ingredients from the name:
- mustard seeds (yellow, brown or a mix of both)
- beer
- honey
- turmeric (optional for yellow color)
- salt
You don't need to actually weigh the mustard seeds, just look at the label on your mustard seeds. The small plastic jars are about 1.4 ounces, the larger glass jar is about 2.5 ounces. You can use the whole jar and adjust the amounts of the other ingredients accordingly.
If you want a smoother mustard, use ground mustard or blend it until smooth.
The best beer to use to make mustard
Use what you like the taste of. I went with an IPA we had on hand. A lager will have a lighter taste, stout will be stronger.
