If you are clueless about Dijon Mustard, read on! Dijon, France, has been recognized for this mustard since the 13th Century (I don’t know about you, but don't you think a little bit of history always spices things up?). Wikipedia notes that The Duke of Burgundy and his guests consumed 70 gallons at one sitting in 1336. That must have been a very large jar!
For your introduction to Dijon, I suggest that you buy a smaller jar to get started with. When stored in the refrigerator Dijon will last for a long time, but the lovely spiciness will diminish. There is no end of usefulness for this medieval recipe. Try one teaspoonful to spark up a simple vinaigrette or up your game with a basic tuna salad or cheese sandwich. Try brushing chicken cutlets with Dijon before grilling.
In the kitchen and wanting some extra flavor? Mystery solved!
