Whole Grain Lager Mustard

Makes 2 cups

This tangy and spicy mustard pairs nicely with sweet fruit and savory cheeses. Keep the mustard spicy as is or add more honey at the end to sweeten it up to your liking. Don’t skip soaking the seeds overnight in the vinegar mixture, as it helps mellow them out. Yellow mustard seeds are milder than brown, so feel free to use all yellow if you want a milder result or more brown to make it even spicier.

Directions:

Combine yellow and brown mustard seeds, the cider vinegar, beer, and brown sugar in a small bowl or medium glass jar. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Transfer to a food processor and process until almost smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the honey and process for another 15 seconds. Taste and season with more honey or salt, if needed.

Serve right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup [100 g] yellow mustard seeds
  • 1/4 cup [50 g] brown mustard seeds
  • 1/2 cup [120 ml] apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup [120 ml] pale ale beer
  • 1 Tbsp lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1⁄3 cup [110 g] honey + more as needed
  • Salt

While setting up a charcuterie spread, we don't have to always have to use a big board. This book has some ideas for some attractively laid out platters and trays. And of course some excellent Ideas for themed charcuterie boards as well. A very nice book.

This book is great! It includes a lot of pictures and visual inspiration for different boards as well as the components for them. They also included many recipes for different meals which I did not expect. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a good breakfast bar, charcuterie board, or hosts a lot of parties! Plus it looks beautiful on your cookbook shelf.
