Dijon mustard is liquid gold in the culinary world. Created in France, it\u2019s now a staple in a variety of dishes and sauces in the United States. A dollop of Dijon enhances any good cheese sauce, emulsifies and flavors vinaigrettes, and is perfect for slathering on a crusty French loaf<\/a> with a slab of aged cheddar or juicy tomato slices. And the most surprising thing is that it\u2019s easy to make Dijon mustard at home with this simple Dijon mustard recipe.<\/p>\n Dijon mustard, named for its hometown of Dijon in the Burgundy region of France, is a classic French condiment most often made from brown mustard seeds. It\u2019s tangy with a slightly spicy or \u201chot\u201d flavor. The pungent mustard is beloved for its balance of tang, heat and sweetness that comes from a touch of sugar and a base of white wine.<\/p>\n The unique pungency of Dijon is due to the use of brown or black mustard seeds, which are more bitter than yellow mustard seeds. Dijon also uses a combination of white wine and vinegar, which is unique to Dijon in the vast world of mustards.<\/p>\n Traditional yellow Dijon mustard, which you see at the deli or buy at the store, is actually whole-grain Dijon mustard that\u2019s been strained to remove the mustard seed skins, isolating just the gorgeous gold spread. Below are options for both types of Dijon mustard recipes.<\/p>\n Combine 1\/2 cup vinegar, 1\/4 cup water and the mustard seeds in a large glass bowl. Cover the bowl with storage wrap and let the seeds soak at room temperature for at least four hours or up to 48 hours.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> The longer you soak the seeds, the easier they will be to blend.<\/p>\n Strain the mustard seeds through a fine mesh strainer. The skins of mustard seeds are bitter, so you\u2019ll want to discard the soaking liquid.<\/p>\n Add the mustard seeds to a blender with the remaining 3 tablespoons of vinegar and the dry white wine. Blend until smooth, then scrape down the sides.<\/p>\n Add the salt and continue blending until the mustard is very smooth. Season with additional salt and sugar to taste.<\/p>\n To make smooth yellow Dijon mustard, you\u2019ll need to strain out the mustard seed skins. To do this, pass the mustard through a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl. Press firmly on the solids with a spoon or spatula to extract as much of the yellow mustard as possible. Discard the solids.<\/p>\n Transfer your homemade Dijon mustard to an airtight container and refrigerate it.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Allow the mustard to chill for a few days before serving it\u2014the flavor will deepen as it ages.<\/p>\n Store any leftover Dijon mustard in an airtight container in the fridge for between four to six months. We recommend avoiding a metal container as the mustard can absorb a metallic-y taste after a while. Glass or plastic airtight containers are best.<\/p>\n It\u2019s best not to freeze Dijon mustard. Freezing alters its consistency too much, and once it thaws, it will have an off-putting texture.<\/p>\n There are seemingly endless ways to use this zippy condiment. Dijon mustard is suited for sandwiches, especially Cuban-style pork sandwiches<\/a>. It\u2019s a very potent ingredient, though, so use it sparingly to avoid breathing fire through your nostrils.<\/p>\n Other must-try recipes with mustard<\/a> are this Dijon-crusted fish<\/a> for an easy weeknight dinner, dill pickle potato salad<\/a> for an outdoor barbecue or this gorgeous roasted honey mustard chicken<\/a> for a special dinner. We can\u2019t get enough of this lemon Dijon pork sheet-pan dinner<\/a>, which is best for weeknights, and our recipe for Dijon-roasted asparagus<\/a> dresses up a simple side.<\/p>\n We recommend using a blender for this Dijon mustard recipe. The small base makes for a more efficient blend than a food processor. If you have a high-powered food processor or even a mini food processor, you can use that, but a high-powered blender is best. A mortar and pestle will work, too, for a more traditional approach.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn how to make Dijon mustard at home\u2014it’s easier that you think and
