I feel like I need to start this post by addressing the elephant in the room. Or rather, the photo. When I hear the words habanero and lager, I think of something manly. I mean we’re talking about HOT SPICE and BEER. Not something that evokes images of doilies, delicate spoons and pretty napkins. However, this didn’t occur to me until I was already taking the photo. Mr. Savory drank all of the beer and I didn’t have any habaneros lying around. I was low on options. So today I present you with habanero lager mustard on a doily. And if you look really close you can sort of see me in the spoon. Self portrait! This stuff is easy to make and will go great with red meat (I’m thinking roast beef sandwiches or crostinis). You can puree the seeds in a food processor but I like leaving them whole. It’s adds a nice little textured pop with every bite. And look at those little puffed up seeds, aren’t they pretty? They go so nicely with the doily.
Habanero Lager Mustard
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar will also work)
- 2 tablespoons lager beer
- 1/2 teaspoon habanero powder (you can substitute cayenne)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and leave at room temperature for 2 days.
- After 2 days, strain any excess liquid (I recommend using it in a vinaigrette).
- Puree the mustard in a food processor if a smooth consistency is desired.
- Store in the refrigerator.

I’ve never thought of making my own mustard. Nice idea and nice shot.
looks yummy, is it difficult to make?
yum! what an amazing combination of flavours! my boyfriend would LOVE this!
I made something similar once (a pickled mustard seed jar) and used it in a lot of recipes, it really was amazing. I’m sure yours was lovely too. :)
Thanks for sharing it and have a nice week!
Oh my husband would just love this! Thanks for sharing.
This post made me giggle. I think manly mustard and doilies belong together, for sure. My man would use that doily to wipe is face.
I feel like I need this mustard in my life, on my burgers + dogs and heck, just on a spoon will do.
Sounds incredible..whoa…would love this heat filled version of yellow goodness.
I’m totally obsessed with mustard but have never made it. I agree this would be great on red meat, but I also think it would be the perfect compliment to salmon. There’s something about salmon and mustard that i just love!
Lol you are hilarious, I love it! And the mustard sounds amazing!
It’s not always easy to make some recipes look beautiful, but you pulled it off perfectly! I’m definitely on Team Mustard, so I’ll have to give this a try!
Manly with a touch of girly – I love it! Great for the Memorial Weekend cook out we are planning! Thanks, Jen!
