I'm not on the up and up with British cuisine, but sausages (think bangers and mash) and mustard (think Coleman's) seem to be on the list.
So when I found Nigel Slater's Sausages & Mustard on the BBC website (click for recipe), I said "well, why not?"
It didn't hurt that this is a pasta dish. With a creamy sauce. And that I could use one of my favorite things on earth...Zatarain's Creole Mustard.
See...this creamy sauce has not one, but TWO types of mustard. Dijon and grainy mustard.
I used the hell out of both because I love mustard.
Notes: This dish was ok. I made a huge mistake overdoing things because I couldn't control my mustard greed. Then I tried to tighten my sauce by adding a couple of tablespoons of Parmesan. Result = salt city.
I will try this again the right way. I'm sure it will be very good.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile with "salt-city"! I know just what you mean, I sometimes overdo it with my favourite ingredient too! I'm sure this dish is delicious, and I love mustard too, however will take note of 'over-doing" it!
It's not a dish for us (we don't eat meat/chicken with dairy) but you cracked me up - "Result = salt city."
ReplyDeleteHeheheheh|
Have a great weekend and thanks for making me laugh :)
I looked at this dish also ... a creamy mustard sauce over pasta appealed ... add some pork and that's a topper! It's on my 'to make' list! Interestingly, the glaze on the bangers that I made had a lemon mustard thing going on too ... add some honey though.
ReplyDeleteIf you put a potato in your dish I think it absorbs excesssalt. I think I read that somewhere but it may only apply to soup.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and I too love mustard....mmmm
Too much mustard--say it isn't so!?! ;-) It certainly looks delicious though, and certainly worth another try with more mustard 'restraint.' ;-)
ReplyDeleteMustard and sausages are such a great combination, I'm sure the dish will be as delicious as it looks with just a little less salt.
ReplyDeleteSalt city, what a bummer. I prefer grainy mustard and my husband Dijon, great to use both
ReplyDeletePasta, sausages and creamy mustard sauce - sounds fabulous. So sorry you were disappointed in this one, but it definitely sounds like it's one to persevere with.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I was chuckling when I read 'salt city'. I totally feel you because at times, it happens to me as well @@ bummer!! But nevertheless, I reckon it still tastes good from the looks of it :)
