French's Stone Ground Dijon Mustard
What it is
This is a classic Dijon mustard made with coarsely ground mustard seeds, offering a robust flavor and a slightly grainy texture. It's a versatile condiment that brings a tangy, pungent taste to a variety of dishes. The stone-ground process preserves the natural oils of the mustard seeds, contributing to its distinct aroma and sharp bite. This larger container is ideal for frequent use in busy kitchens.
How people cook with it
Stone ground Dijon mustard is a staple for adding depth and zest to both simple and complex meals.
- Marinades for meats
- Sandwich spreads
- Vinaigrettes and dressings
- Sauces and dips
In the kitchen, this mustard is a powerful flavor enhancer. Whisk it into salad dressings for a zesty kick, or use it as a base for marinades to tenderize and flavor chicken, pork, or beef. It also adds a wonderful tang to potato salads, deviled eggs, and glazes for roasted meats. For a quick sandwich upgrade, spread a thin layer on bread or rolls. It can be incorporated into cheese sauces or used to bind ingredients in meatloaf.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike smooth Dijon, stone ground varieties retain visible flecks of mustard seed, providing a more rustic texture and a slightly less uniform, more complex flavor profile. The coarser grind can also affect how it emulsifies in dressings.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike appreciate its bold flavor and versatility.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the mustard refrigerated to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent it from drying out. Store it in the refrigerator door for easy access.
