Mustard seed is a playful spice—something that will make most any dish more interesting. Its fresh, clean aroma and sharp, tangy flavor are perfect for cutting through rich ingredients like beef and butter sauce. We love to throw it into a beef or chicken braise with wine. It’s also a must-have for making pickles and relishes. But mustard seed works equally well to kick up the flavor of mild ingredients such as potatoes, legumes, chicken and seafood. Add it to the dressing for potato, cucumber or chicken salad. Use it in rubs, marinades and sauces, and include it in curries and bean dishes. Get creative!
