Required Inventory
Cooking mustard on cucumber pickle does not take too much time. But in order to speed up this simple process, it is recommended to prepare in advance all the kitchen appliances that will be needed to create a homemade sauce. And this:
- a small metal bowl;
- glass jars for ready mustard (0.5 l or 750 g);
- metal lids for cans;
- microwave oven;
- ruff for washing cans;
- waffle dish towel;
- tablespoon and dessert spoons;
- a bowl designed to sterilize lids;
- sealing device;
- serving plate.
The process of mixing all the necessary ingredients
Homemade mustard on brine is done quite quickly and easily. But to make such a sauce strong and spicy, it is recommended to take concentrated liquid from pickled or pickled cucumbers. If the brine is not aromatic, then it is recommended to add sugar, salt and table vinegar (to taste) in addition.
To prepare this sauce, pour mustard powder into a small enameled bowl, and then gradually add cucumber pickle to it and mix well. As a result, you should get a fragrant mass of sour cream consistency. At the end, a small amount of sunflower oil should be added to the finished mustard and mix everything again.
Sterilization of cans and lids
After mixing all the ingredients, homemade mustard on cucumber pickle will be completely suitable for consumption. However, such a sauce will turn out more aromatic and tasty if it is kept for some time in a cool room (basement, cellar, refrigerator, etc.).
But in order to carry out the plan, all prepared glass jars should be sterilized in advance. We will do this in the microwave. To do this, all the dishes need to be washed well with a brush, and then pour a little water into them (1/5 cup each) and place in a kitchen appliance. Next, the microwave should be put into easy heating mode (power 700-800 watts) and stand the jars in this state for about 2-3 minutes. At the same time, the water in them should boil and gradually turn into steam, sterilizing all the dishes. By the way, if there is too much of it, then time can be increased by one and a half times.
As for metal covers, it is advisable to sterilize them in the usual way (on a stove). To do this, they should be washed well, put in a bowl, pour water so that it covers them for 1-2 centimeters, and boil over high heat for a couple of minutes.
Formation process and proper serving
After all the jars and lids are sterilized, and the mustard on the cucumber pickle is completely ready, it must be laid out in a container, rolled up with a special tool, set aside, cover with a waffle towel and kept in this condition at room temperature for exactly one day. After this time, homemade sauce should be removed in a cold room and kept there for at least 2-3 weeks.
After such a long exposure, mustard will become more fragrant and very tasty. It must be placed on a serving plate and served with meat delicacies. Especially this homemade sauce is suitable for various cuts, as well as aspic and aspic. Enjoy your meal!
