Traditional recipe for honey mustard sauce
Prepare all the necessary ingredients in advance. To make honey mustard sauce, you will need two tablespoons of honey, the same amount of mustard and vegetable oil, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Also, use garlic and nutmeg to add an original flavor to the dressing.
Please note that for the preparation of honey mustard sauce, it is better to take ready-made mustard. In this case, it is better not to use powder options. Depending on the type of mustard, you can experiment with the taste of the future sauce.
Take a deep container and put the first ingredient in it - honey. Add mustard and mix thoroughly. Make your own lemon juice. To do this, dip the lemon in boiling water for a few seconds, then cut the fruit in half and squeeze the juice out of it.
Add the lemon juice to the honey mustard mixture. Re-mix all ingredients with vegetable oil. Finally, when the mixture is creamy, season the sauce with chopped garlic and nutmeg powder.
The second recipe for honey mustard sauce
Fans of spicier tastes can try another recipe for honey mustard sauce. In addition to honey, mustard, and garlic, in this case, you need fresh ginger root. The process of making the sauce does not differ from the standard version, the main difference is the addition of chopped ginger root at the final stage and the replacement of vegetable oil with olive oil.
Salt can be added to any of the honey mustard sauce recipes if desired. Before serving, it is better to hold the piece in the refrigerator for a while so that all the ingredients mix well with each other.
Honey mustard sauce for meat dishes
For meat dishes, you can prepare a richer and thicker honey-mustard sauce. To do this, you will need equal proportions of honey and mustard, garlic, one head of onion, juice of one lemon and olive oil.
The onions for the sauce can be chopped with a knife or blender. It is even recommended to grate it on a fine grater so that the taste is fully revealed.
Combine the mustard and honey in a separate container. Add chopped garlic, onion, olive oil and lemon juice. The ingredients must not only be mixed, but also slightly whipped. In this case, you can use a mixer or a whisk. Thanks to this procedure, the sauce will acquire an airy and at the same time thick consistency.
You can choose the ingredients for honey-mustard sauce and their amount yourself. Note, however, that combining nutmeg and ginger at the same time can impair the taste of the finished dish.
