One of the most widely used condiments, along with ketchup and mayonnaise, mustard is the ideal ally for thrill-seekers – or rather, lovers of spicy flavours! It is most often used to accompany meat, or to make a dressing or mayonnaise. But your mustard pot can be useful in many other situations. So, how to cook mustard and enjoy its benefits?
Cooking mustard
➡️ Replace butter in a sandwich
Before making your sandwiches, think of your jar of mustard, which will replace the butter and enhance the taste with ham or cold meat!
➡️ Replace salt in a pie
Have you ever thought of brushing your pie crust with 1 tablespoon of strong mustard? With a vegetable pie, it’s sublime… and there’s no need to add salt! 🧂
➡️ A stronger vinaigrette
Remember to add a touch of mustard to your dressing. This will spice up your sauce, give it consistency and once again, there is no need to add salt.
➡️ Spicier bread
Do you make your own bread? Add a spoonful of hot mustard to the bread dough. It will be delicious and slightly more spicy 🥖
