- ¾ cups chardonnay (or other dry white wine)
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 shallot (peeled and roughly chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (smashed)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup yellow mustard seeds
- ¼ cup brown mustard seeds
- water as needed
Add chardonnay, white wine vinegar, shallot, garlic, sugar, and salt to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, allowing shallots to soften and seasonings to dissolve. Remove from heat, strain out shallots and garlic, and let cool.
Once cooled, add mustard seeds to the liquid and place in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours to let the seeds soften.
Add seeds and liquid into a blender (or food processor) and puree into your desired consistency. Add water as needed to make the mixture thin enough to blend.*
Add blended mustard to a saucepan and gently simmer on the stovetop for 10 minutes. Add additional water if needed to correct the consistency.
Remove from the stovetop and store in pint jars in the refrigerator. Let flavors meld for a few days prior to enjoying.
*Leave many seeds whole if you like a coarse ground mustard, or blend the seeds completely for a smoother Dijon.
