Mustard
Pronounce it: muss-tard
A condiment made by mixing the ground seeds of the mustard plant with a combination of ingredients usually including water, vinegar and flour. There are three varieties of mustard plant: black, brown and white or yellow - all of which release a hot, tangy flavour when mixed with liquid.
The most popular blends of mustards include English, American and French which contrast widely in strength and flavour.
Store it
Store in a glass jar in the fridge. Mustard that has been stored for a long time is prone to separation so should be shaken prior to opening.
Cook it
Fantastic served with cold meats such as ham or with sizzling sausages or to add extra tang to a sandwich.
Mustard is also often combined with olive oil and vinegar to make salad dressing.
