Allow Mustard To Enhance Your Easter
Easter Sunday comes with many different traditions that vary from household to household. When it comes to Easter dinner, there are ways to keep it traditional and by-the-book, and ways to express some creativity in the kitchen. A main dish staple in many households is a spiral ham. And what goes better with ham than mustard and horseradish? Let’s take a closer look at how both condiments can enhance all of your favorite recipes. Not only your ham dish, but also side dishes and even drinks.
The Best Mustard and Horseradish to Accompany the Easter Ham
“Best” may be subjective when it comes to taste buds, but there are a few types of mustard and horseradish that pair beautifully with the flavor profiles in ham. Beyond that, preference plays a big role in selecting what to serve. The best approach is to offer a variety of options for your guests or family members to choose from. For mustard, Dijon, honey mustard, and whole grain are popular choices. For horseradish, consider offering a classic prepared horseradish or a cream-style horseradish to give guests the option of something with a bit more bite. You can even try combining horseradish and mustard into a single sauce for a punchy pairing.
Other Ways to Include Mustard or Horseradish
Lemon Mustard-Horseradish Salad Dressing
Many times, a salad is offered as a side or appetizer. You can add a flavorful twist by making a mustard and horseradish dressing using oil, lemon, whole grain mustard, prepared horseradish, and spices. Add it to a simple garden salad, or toss it with roasted spring vegetables like broccoli and asparagus along with sliced radish and spring onion. Either option is fresh, seasonal, and delicious.
Traditional German Eggs in Mustard Sauce
If you are from German descent you may be familiar with German Eggs in Mustard Sauce. Like deviled eggs, this recipe uses hard boiled eggs (maybe from your colored decorations). This recipe takes those eggs, cuts them into four equal parts, places them over either rice or salted potatoes and tops with a thick mustard sauce. To make the sauce, combine butter, onion, flour, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, sugar and vinegar. If you have an excess of colored eggs, this may be a great option for you.
