What to do with mustard

ti1980

I have a 170g jar of English Vineyard Mustard that was given to me by a friend who won it in a hamper. My friend doesn't drink and this mustard contains 8% white wine so they gave it to me.
Thing is I don't ever buy mustard and the only time I eat it is when I buy smoked ham and mustard sandwiches when they are reduced to 10p or similar.
It doesn't look anything like the mustard in my sandwiches, it looks quite 'grainy' though I can't put my finger on what it looks like.
I rarely cook so I don't know what I'm going to put it in to use it up, I've not even opened it yet.:o

What do you suggest I put it in to use it up?

Thanks in advance.:beer:

Hi ti1980,

It sounds like dijon mustard which is milder than English mustard. If you check out google there are lots of recipes. As Night-owl says it goes well with chicken, add it to marinades, use it as a base for sauces, use it mixed with breadcrumbs to make a crust or just serve it on the side.

I'm not a big mustard fan, but I find a dollop gives cheese sauce a lovely kick

Thanks for the replies. The last time I made anything with chicken is when I did my first rubber chicken and that was a few months ago now.:eek:

The display until date is July and the best before date is August. I don't pay too much attention to best before dates though and I know for a fact that M&S are so over-cautious when it comes to dates.

The ingredients of the mustard are:

White wine vinegar
Mustard seeds (32%)
Water
English white wine (8%)
Concentrated lemon juice
Salt

Hi Pink, when I cook (which isn't often:o ) I tend to make all in one dishes such as bacon rice, sausage risotto or pasta with vegetables. Apart from a fish finger butty, I can't remember the last time I made something for one meal. I always make 3 or 4 then freeze the extra.

I had a delish honey and mustard dressing on a chicken & bacon on rocket salad with croutons yesterday... so that's something you could use it for

1/3 c. honey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. vinegar
3 tbsp. mustard
1 c. oil
mix in that order and then in the end mix until the oil disappears - might have to make this myself for some salad... mmmm

I've been looking for a recipe for honey and mustard dressing too. Thank you Tine (the thanks button doesn't appear to work on my computer).

I love mustard - all types. I spread it on top of my cheese when doing Cheese on Toast under the grill. I love a great dollop of it with my chips when I have steak. Its great for spreading on sandwiches instead of butter when you are trying to cut down on fat. Also, a spoonful in a jar with a little olive oil and about 4 times as much vinegar - give it a good shake et voila, a perfect french dressing.

its a wholegrain mustard - not as 'hot' as english mustard, but nice and tangy!
As said above, great for honey and mustard dressing, also brilliant on sausage sarnies (my favourite), or in a ham sarnie (with or without a smidge of mayo as well), or add to chicken breasts etc befoe cooking. My dad also spreads it on steak as its cooking - its nice!
Overall, will go nicely with any meats, hot or cold, also good in dressings and sarnies (peronal foible here - with cheese in sarnies or on toast)
