Sorry to change the subject, but are there any other recipes that call for mustard seeds? I've got some sitting around at the house, and I want to use them for something. I don't do straight-up mustard, but I love the flavor in salad dressings, recipes, et cetera...

why not take a mortar and pestle, grind 'em and sprinkle them on different foods?

I just take mustard powder, add a bit of water & apple cider vinegar and mix. That creates a spicy mustard. If you want it less potent, mix it in something to tone it down like olive oil. If you want it sweeter, add agave. I marinate mushrooms in the first version with olive oil and it tastes great.

Mustard Vinegar Dressing:
Mustard Seed Powder
Apple Cider Vinegar
Olive or Flax Oil
Dash Salt
Optional: Dash Agave

Honey Mustard Dressing:
Olive Oil
Mustard
Agave

If you search for a thread with mustard in the title started by me you'll find a post where I made my own raw mustard by grinding mustard seeds (pre ground spices are probably not raw) and mixing in apple cider vinegar and salt.

It does make a very hot mustard, but let it sit at room temperature in a sealed jar for 1-2 months and it will be just like regular mustard. I have no idea why it "unhottens" with time, but it does.
