Instructions
Preperation
- 1Place the finely ground brown mustard seeds in a small bowl. If using whole seeds, grind them to a fine powder in a spice grinder first.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry white wine and white wine vinegar.
Making the Mustard
- 1Pour the liquid mixture over the ground mustard seeds. Add the salt and turmeric powder (if using).
- 2Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring there are no dry pockets of mustard seed powder.
- 3Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the water.
- 4Blend on high speed until the mustard reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
- 5Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want a pinch more salt or a tad more vinegar for tang.
Storage
- 1Transfer the freshly made Dijon mustard to an airtight jar or container.
- 2Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully. The mustard will thicken slightly as it chills.
