Mustard!

[Berber Mama 5]

Have any Moroccans here in the U.S. or their s.o.'s found any mustard that resembles in the least bit the mustard that it used in Morocco? We have tried Dijon, spicy brown, etc. but can't find anything that tastes close to the mustard over there. My husband says that the mustard has the same flavor throughout Europe and is not specific to Morocco. I don't know if he's correct on that or not.

I have done internet searches and came up empty handed. I have only managed to find a page for STAR brand ketchup.

Yeah, we've tried that. It just doesn't have that same flavor.

I never noticed a different in the taste of mustard in Europe/Morocco vs. here. But of course that doesn't mean that there isn't a difference. Why don't you try a European imported mustard?

Found a recipe to make it...

MOROCCAN MUSTARD

Yield: 1 1/4 cups.

8 ounces prepared yellow mustard

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing well until smooth.

Cover and let stand for 30 minutes for flavors to combine.

Serve as a condiment for hot dogs, grilled chicken or vegetables.

Note: Mustard may be covered and refrigerated for up to two weeks.

Can get some nice German mustards (called Senf) from:

Some may be found in certain local grocery stores - typically American (yellow) mustards seem to have a different taste - German/European mustards can be quite good (IMO).

Really? I can tell a big difference. I was searching for an imported mustard but I couldn't find anything on the net. Thanks for the link!

Well you are just being far too needy!! Just kidding, I really wanted to throw out a suggestion since I'm usually the one asking for help

Not to be a bummer, but doesn't Grey Poupon (and other dijon mustards) contain wine? If your MENA SO is ok with that, then fine. But maybe they'd want to know, to make their own decision about it. I mean, who would think mustard might contain alcohol?

OP - Good luck finding the mustard you're looking for!

Are you talking about the really spicy mustard? I remembered my mouth was on fire but it was sooooo good!

Oh no's!!! I hope i'm not turned into CPS for giving my little 14 year old cousin a sandwich with grey poupon since it contains wine!

Not to worry...the alcohol is burned off in the cooking.
