ENGLISH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Toast the mustard seeds in a small dry pan (I use a cast iron pan) over medium heat, shaking occasionally, until the seeds start to pop. Remove from heat and tip the seeds into a mortar and pestle and crush them a few times. (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, tip them into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to crush them).
• In a glass or pottery bowl, blend the crushed mustard seeds, mustard powder and water thoroughly and let stand for 20 minutes. (You can drink the remaining beer while you're waiting!).
• Add the cayenne pepper, tumeric powder and salt. Stir to combine, then add the honey, vinegar and beer.
• If the mixture seems too thin, add up to one more tablespoon of mustard powder to help thicken it.
• Pour mustard into a small jar, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days before using to let the flavors combine.
• Enjoy!

ENGLISH MUSTARD FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Transfer seeds and liquid to a food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Process until creamy, four to six minutes.
• Transfer to jars. Allow mustard to mature, 3 to 4 weeks, before serving.

WILD SALMON WITH ENGLISH PEAS AND MUSTARD BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Blanch fresh peas in a medium pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath and let cool completely. Drain. (If using frozen peas, skip this step.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub salmon on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Roast until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine shallot, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Reduce heat to low. Whisk in mustard to combine, then whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece as soon as previous one melts. Season with salt and pepper. (If not serving right away, keep beurre blanc warm over a pan of simmering water; do not let sauce simmer.)
• Arrange salmon on a platter and top with peas. Sprinkle with chives, top with pea shoots, and serve, with warm beurre blanc alongside.

ONION SODA BREAD WITH WHIPPED ENGLISH MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the flours into a bowl with the bicarb, onion flakes, nigella seeds and 1½ tsp salt. Stir together and make a well in the middle. Tip in the butter and yogurt, and bring together into a soft, sticky dough using a spatula. If it seems dry, add a splash of milk.
• Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a round. Lift onto a lightly floured baking sheet, cut a deep cross in the top using a sharp knife and sprinkle over the oats. Bake for 1 hr, or until golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
• While the bread cools, beat the butter, mustard and a pinch of sea salt together until light and airy. Spoon into a small pot. Slice the bread and serve with the mustard butter for spreading over.

POACHED CHICKEN WITH HOT ENGLISH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Place carrots, celery, onions, parsley and peppercorns in a stockpot. Rinse chicken with cold water, and pat dry. Add chicken. Fill stockpot with enough cold water to cover chicken by 1 inch.
• Set over medium-high heat, and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat, and allow to simmer, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface, for 1 hour.
• Remove chicken from stock; set aside. Strain stock through a very fine sieve or chinois. Discard solids. Transfer stock to a metal bowl. Set bowl in another bowl, full of ice water. Let stand until stock is completely chilled, replacing ice if necessary, and fat can be skimmed off surface of stock.
• Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin from chicken and discard. Carefully pull meat off chicken bones; it should fall away quite easily, keeping the meat in large chunks when possible.
• Return 5 cups stock to stockpot or large saucepan. Bring to a boil; adjust seasoning with salt. Reduce heat to a simmer; simmer until stock has become very flavorful and reduced by 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Add pieces of chicken; cook just until chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Toast bread until golden, and brush with olive oil. Serve chicken in a wide bowl with a ladle of hot broth. Add a handful of watercress to each bowl. Place a spoonful of mustard on toast, sprinkle with salt, and serve on the side.
