Russian prepared mustard is often valued for a more forceful, nose-tingling heat, while Dijon mustard is typically smoother and more wine- or vinegar-forward. Recipes and brands vary, so their strengths are not identical.
What is Russian prepared mustard made of?
Russian prepared mustard is made mainly from ground mustard seeds or mustard powder combined with liquid, commonly water and vinegar. Salt is also typical, and some recipes include sugar or other seasonings.
How do you use Russian prepared mustard?
Spread Russian prepared mustard thinly on sandwiches, stir a little into a dressing, or serve it beside meat. Its concentrated flavor can overpower a dish, so add a small amount first and taste.
What foods are traditionally served with Russian prepared mustard?

Mix Russian prepared mustard with sour cream, mayonnaise, or another mild, creamy ingredient to soften its sharpness. Add the mustard gradually, tasting as you go, so the mixture does not become too pungent.

What is Russian prepared mustard?
Russian prepared mustard is a pungent condiment associated with Russia, made by mixing ground mustard seed or mustard powder with liquid, commonly water and vinegar. Its sharp heat and concentrated mustard flavour distinguish it from milder yellow mustard; even a small dab can make itself known.
In Russia it is commonly served alongside meats and sausages, or spread in sandwiches. Elsewhere, it works well with grilled foods, cold cuts and dressings, especially if you enjoy a more forceful kick than standard table mustard offers. It is a strongly flavoured, relatively low-calorie condiment: a 15 g tablespoon provides about 18 calories. Start with a little and add more to taste, or stir it into a dressing to spread its heat through the dish.
