Mostarda Recipe (with Pear and Fig)
No meat or cheese platter is complete without a savory-sweet mostarda. Spread it over cheeses, sliced meats or bread for a tasty bite. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
- ½ cup white wine
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- ½ cup figs dried
- 2 pear peeled and diced
- 1 sweet pepper chopped, small
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon basil fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a pot. Heat to medium heat, then simmer for 15 minutes to allow everything to soften up.
- Cool, then process in a food processor until nice and smooth.
- You can use it right away, but I like to refrigerate it overnight to let the flavors mingle. Serve cold or room temperature.
Notes
- Makes about 2-3 cups.
