Grainy Mustard Recipes

Steps:

• Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large saucepan and gently boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are just tender and the tip of a paring knife goes through with little resistance. Strain potatoes and reserve the cream mixture but discard the bay leaf, thyme stems and the garlic. Mash the potatoes and fold in the cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in about a tablespoon of the olive oil, the butter, and the grainy mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place mustard seeds in a medium-size bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and the wine. Cover and let stand overnight.
• Purée mustard with salt until you reach the desired consistency. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 24 hours before using.

Steps:

• Place a strainer lined with cheesecloth over a medium bowl; set aside. In a heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the pork. Cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn meat, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then add remaining tablespoon of oil, and garlic. Stir for 1 minute. Add onion, celery, carrot, mustard seeds and bay leaf. Saute until vegetables have softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Add tomato paste to the pan, increase heat to medium and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with wine, scraping up all bits on the side and bottom. Reduce until almost dry, then add stock. Reduce by half and strain into a clean pan. Stir in mustard and keep warm. Spoon over sliced pork.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread butter over one side of each slice of bread.
• Arrange bread, butter side down, on a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper. Spread each slice of bread with mustard. Arrange cheese over 4 slices of bread, and sandwich together with remaining bread, butter side out.
• Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches in batches in skillet. Using a spatula, press down firmly on sandwiches. Cook until bread is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Turn sandwiches over, press down with spatula, and cook until bread is golden and cheese is starting to melt, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet, and place in oven. Bake until cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.
