Semiserious Chefs

I love it when a recipe comes together out of the blue. And for me, that recipe was a fresh ground brown mustard dipping sauce.

I was actually in the process of making a mustard sauce for another recipe I’m working on. Fortunately, I kind of just stumbled on this and felt it would work for something a little different than what I had originally intended.

But before you go plopping a spoonful all over your pastrami sandwich, don’t!

This mustard sauce is pretty intense. It’s best used as a dipping sauce for your food. A little will go a long ways. If you’re familiar with the taste of horseradish, than you’ll have a pretty good idea of what you’re in for.

This fresh ground brown mustard dipping sauce can seriously clear the nostrils and bring on the tears if you take too big of a bite.

So with that in mind, this sauce would go well with pork, sushi (sashimi), calamari, or prime rib.

But I also feel it would work great mixed in with some mayonnaise to create a spread for particular sandwiches and subs. Something like a pulled pork sub sandwich with a mayo brown mustard sauce.

Now I’m getting ideas!

Lucky me. That means my brain won’t stop running a million miles an hour until I come up with the perfect recipe. And in this case it’s going to be for a sandwich which incorporates this mustard sauce.

Then I’ll probably get sidetracked with another recipe and… well you know how it is. It’s one vicious cycle!

I hope you enjoy this sauce, and feel free to share with us what you used it on.
