Best 3 Creamy Whole Grain Mustard Sauce Recipes

LAMB RIB CHOPS WITH CREAMY WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Season lamb with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter and oil over medium-high heat. When skillet and oil are hot, place chops down in a single layer. Cook for 3 minutes per side or according to desired doneness.
• Transfer chops to a plate and loosely tent with foil to retain heat. Spoon out any fat in excess of 1 tablespoon. Add shallots and saute until softened. Stir in mustard and deglaze with cognac, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When cognac has reduced to about 1 tablespoon, stir in cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in tarragon leaves immediately before serving. Place two or three chops on each plate and spoon the sauce over them.

CREAMY DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter (omit this step if using pan drippings - see notes). Once the butter is melted and foaming, whisk in chicken stock and heavy cream.
• Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce and whisk through to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• If serving with a main protein, such as pork chops, you can add them back to the pan to cook in the sauce.
• Garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.

CHICKEN (OR PORK) WITH WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the marinade, combine the coriander, red pepper, thyme and sea salt in a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix olive oil in a bowl with garlic. Add the chicken and toss with your hands to cover with the marinate. Add 1 tablespoon of thyme leaves, toss and transfer to a sealed container or zip lock bag to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• 30 minutes before cooking, remove the chicken from the fridge.
• Pre-heat your sauté pan to medium high. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Make sure the pan surface is completely coated by tilting the pan back and forth. When the pan starts to smoke just a little bit, it is ready.
• Carefully add the chicken to the pan and lower the heat to medium. Because this is a cream sauce, you don't want to sear the meat too dark or caramelize the onions too brown. This prevents the drippings from giving the sauce too dark a color.
• Sauté the chicken 2 minutes per side until golden brown and transfer to a plate. Discard any excess oil in the pan leaving just a little to cook the onions. Add the onions and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves and cook gently until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of white wine and using a wooden spoon or wooden spatula, scrape any drippings stuck to the pan. (Deglazing) Reduce this liquid to a syrup and add another 1/2 cup of wine. Reduce the additional wine to an essence and add 1/2 the heavy cream. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer the cream and onions until reduced by half.
• Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream and the whole grain mustard. Using your wooden spoon, stir until the sauce is completely incorporated. Now add your remaining fresh thyme leaves. Adjust the seasonings, add the chicken and any accumulated juices back to the pan and cover.
• Simmer, turning once until completely cooked.
