How to Make Tarragon Mustard

  1. Combine 1/2 cup port wine, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 cup yellow mustard seeds, 2 finely chopped shallots, and 2 cloves minced garlic in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are slightly softened.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Transfer the cooled mustard seed mixture to a blender. Add 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 2 tablespoons mustard oil.
  5. With the blender running on low speed, gradually add 1/2 cup water, blending until you reach your desired consistency. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  6. With the blender still running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until fully incorporated.
  7. Transfer the mustard to a bowl and gently stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon.
  8. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy for up to one week.
