4 bone-in center-cut pastured pork chops (about 1 1/2 pounds), each 3/4-inch thick
2 cups pickle juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the pork chops
3 onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon unrefined brown sugar
splash of white wine
2 teaspoons juiced-up mustard (recipe below)
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
1/4 cup creme fraiche, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon cultured butter
freshly ground black pepper
dill pickle spears, optional
1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
1/4 cup brown mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup pickle juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup or unpasteurized honey

1
Pulse the yellow and brown mustard seeds in a blender until coarsely ground.
2
Add the turmeric, pickle juice and maple syrup to the blender and blend until smooth, or with some mustard seed bits remaining if you like your mustard coarse-grained, adding a little water or more pickle juice, if you have it, if the mixture is too thick.
3
Transfer to a jar, cover tightly and leave in a cool place away from sunlight for 3 or 4 days, depending on the season and kitchen temperature.
4
The aroma and consistency of the mustard won't really change, but know that the good bacteria are doing their job of infusing the mustard with probiotics just the same.
5
Transfer to the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 2 days before using; this allows the flavors to settle and the pungent mustard bite to mellow.
6
The longer you keep it, the more it will mellow.
7
It will keep for about 6 months in the refrigerator.
