How to Make Whole-Grain Mustard Sauce

This mustard sauce is a great sauce for white meat like pork, chicken, rabbit and turkey, and it goes well with shrimp, too. This recipe makes about 2 cups. You'll need to start with half a recipe of basic white sauce (see related eHow).

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Salt
• 2 tbsps Dijon mustards
• 1/2 tsp garlic powders
• 1/2 cup whole grain mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauces
• 2-3 drops Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

1. For two cups of finished mustard sauce, start by making half a recipe (1 1/2 cups) of basic white sauce. (For recipe, see related eHow.)
2. Bring the white sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan.
3. Whisk in the Dijon mustard first, then the Worcestershire, Tabasco, garlic powder and black pepper.
4. Remove the sauce from the heat.
5. Whisk in the whole grain mustard until well combined.
6. Taste, and add salt if needed. If it's not "mustardy" enough, whisk in more until it tastes right.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a quality whole-grain mustard for this recipe. For a spicier sauce, choose a whole-grain mustard that contains horseradish.
• Creole mustard, available in most major markets, is especially good.
