Mustard Aggression Experiment

Word on the street is making whole food mustard isn't too difficult. For this recipe see Dustins earlier blog post. So, here goes:

Preamble: Gather thy ingredients:

Ingredient list: foreground: $8/# organic whole brown mustard seed, $7.50/# organic whole grain yellow mustard seed background: brown sugar, trader joes unfiltered apple cider vinegar, cerveza, Walmart brand 100% pure honey

Step One: Combine mustard seeds, vinegar, and beer. I ended up using a New Belgium Side Trip Belgian style pale ale that I started last night an had sitting in my fridge.

Step Two: Wait... A minimum of 8 hours (aka overnight) but up to 2 days.

Waiting... (Covered with plastic cling wrap and stored in a cool cellar.) (So far, this does not look like mustard.)

Overnight Update:

Step Three: Add your salt, brown sugar, and honey.

Step Four: grind it with some sort of blender or food processor to your desired consistency. You probably want to keep some whole seeds in there.

Step Five: Wait some more. Return your mustard to a cool place and let it sit.

$2/lb protein and fiber source?

I came across a great deal at Trader Juan's. $1.99 for 16 oz (aka 1lb) of roasted sunflower seeds.

And nutritional info.

I think these will be good additions to things like my Tabbouleh salad and other kinds of "mix-up" dishes. Always delicious for a nice snack. $2/lb. Get out. Can't beat that price. Fiber too. I bought multiple bags.
