How people cook with it
Stone ground Dijon mustard is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many ways.
- As a sandwich spread
- In salad dressings
- For marinades
- As a dipping sauce
This stone ground Dijon mustard is excellent as a direct condiment for sandwiches and burgers, offering a pleasant bite. It is also a fundamental component in homemade vinaigrettes and creamy salad dressings, emulsifying well and adding a sharp counterpoint to richer ingredients. For marinades, it tenderizes meats while infusing them with its characteristic flavor. It can be whisked into sauces or gravies to add complexity and a touch of acidity. Its robust nature makes it a good base for glazes on roasted meats and poultry.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike smooth Dijon mustards, the stone ground variety retains the texture of the mustard seeds. This provides a more rustic mouthfeel and a slightly more pronounced, earthy flavor. The coarser grind means the seeds release their flavor more gradually, offering a different sensory experience compared to finely milled versions.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike appreciate its bold flavor and texture.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate this mustard to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent it from drying out. It can be stored in the refrigerator for an extended period, typically several months, without significant loss of quality.
