**Coarse Ground Mustard**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup yellow mustard seeds
– 1 cup white wine vinegar
– 1/2 cup water
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds, white wine vinegar, and water. Stir well to ensure all the mustard seeds are coated in the liquid. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
2. After 24 hours, transfer the mustard seed mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the salt, turmeric, garlic powder, and paprika to the mixture.
3. Pulse the mixture in the food processor until you reach your desired consistency. For coarse ground mustard, pulse the mixture a few times, leaving some of the mustard seeds whole for texture. If you prefer a smoother mustard, blend the mixture for a longer period.
4. Taste the mustard and adjust the seasonings to suit your preferences. You can add more salt, vinegar, or spices to tailor the flavor to your liking.
5. Transfer the coarse ground mustard to a clean, airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a month to allow the flavors to further develop.
