Equipment

  • a sealable container

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. dry mustard seeds
  • 3 tbsp. any sauce of your choice

Instructions

  • Pour 3 tbsp. of your chosen sauce or juice into a sealable jar with 1 tbsp. dry mustard seeds.
  • Refrigerate for 5 days before serving.

Notes

Rarely, some sauces may require more than 5 days to soak into mustard seeds, but I find no sauce should require more than 7-8 days to fully absorb.
A few sauce suggestions:
  • Pickle juice
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Tabasco
  • Buffalo wing sauce
  • Sriracha
  • Soy sauce
  • Chili sauce
  • BBQ sauce
  • Curry sauce (mix of curry paste and water)
  • Salad dressings (like Italian, lemon vinaigrette, apple cider vinaigrette or honey mustard)
