Mustard Caviar


Mustard caviar adds pops of flavor and such an exciting texture to your appetizers.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon dry mustard seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons any sauce of your choice

Procedure

  1. Pour 3 Tablespoons of your chosen sauce or juice into a sealable jar with 1 Tablespoon dry mustard seeds.
  2. 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)
