What’s In Low Sodium Mustard?

I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every month and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery.  You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here! 

If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look!

• Mustard Seeds: which give this dish fantastic texture & flavor. I always keep mustard seeds in my pantry to add to brines and homemade pickles.
• Mustard Powder: I love adding this mustard powder to this condiment/sauce – it adds a nice sharpness and bright yellow color.
• Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives this mustard a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor.  I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
• Raw Honey: I’d recommend trying a local farmers market to find the best raw honey in your area. If you can’t find local, this raw organic honey online here is the next best thing.
• Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! Aside from all the wonderful health benefits of turmeric (hello anti-inflammation!), the flavor is fantastic. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.

A Great Make-Ahead Salt Free Sauce for your Next BBQ

Nothing beats a good slather of mustard on a low sodium hamburger or hotdog!  fi you’re having guests for your next cook out, you can make this mustard a few days ahead of time and your guests can enjoy it on their food. The flavor of the mustard actually mellows over time, so it’s good to make a few days in advanced.

How Do I Make Mustard Without Salt?

1. Using a mortar and pestle, or a spice grinder, ground the mustard seeds to your desired texture. If you like a chunkier mustard like mine, leave some whole seeds in there. If you like a finer mustard, then grind them all the way.
2. To a bowl or a mason jar, add the mustard seeds, mustard powder and water, and allow mustard sit for up to 12 minutes.  For a spicy mustard, let the mustard sit in the water for 8 minutes. For a more milk mustard, let the mustard soak for 12 minutes.
3. Add the vinegar, honey and turmeric, and stir well to combine.
4. Refrigerate, and allow mustard to sit for up to 24-48 hours before consuming.  It will be spicy at first, but will the flavors will mellow as it sits.
