Ancient Roman Mustard

This is an adaptation of a recipe from Apicius, an ancient Roman writer who focused on food. It is a great change of pace from regular mustard.

Instructions

  1. Grind the whole mustard seeds for a few seconds in a spice or coffee grinder, or by hand with a mortar and pestle. You want them mostly whole. Add the chopped nuts and grind into a paste.
  2. Move everything to a bowl and add the salt and cold water. Mix well and let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vinegar and stir well. When the vinegar is incorporated, pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge. Wait at least 24 hours before using. Mustard made this way will last several months in the fridge.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 2 cups.
