Mostarda is a condiment in Italy - but it's NOT just a mustard. Rather, it is preserved fruit that does have mustard and mustard seed included as a flavouring. Mostarda is delicious with bollilto misto, as it is such a delicious and flavourful accompaniment to the plain, boiled beef. Also exceptional used with cold cuts. Try salami, dabs of mostarda and good, crusty bread. Ingredients:
4 dried figs, cut 1/2 cubes |
1 unripe pear, peeled and cut 1/2 cubes |
1/2 cup dried apricot, cut 1/2 cubes |
1/2 cup dried cherries |
1/2 cup dried apple, cut 1/4 julienne |
1 1/2 cups dry red wine |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup honey |
1/2 cup prepared mustard |
1/4 cup mustard seeds, cracked |
Directions:
1. Place figs, pear, apricots, cherries, and apples into a mixing bowl and stir to mix.
2. In a saucepan, heat wine, sugar and honey together until boiling. Boil for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly reduced and syrupy. Remove from heat and stir in mustard and seeds.
3. Pour over fruit and allow to steep 24 hours. Jar and refrigerate.
