Mustard Champ Recipes

MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat egg and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Mix vinegar and mustard in a small bowl; slowly stir into the egg mixture.
• Cook and stir the mixture until hot.

IRISH CHAMP

Steps:

• Place potatoes into large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain well. Return to very low heat and allow the potatoes to dry out for a few minutes. (It helps if you place a clean dish towel over the potatoes to absorb any remaining moisture.)
• Meanwhile, heat the milk and green onions gently in a saucepan, until warm.
• Mash the potatoes, salt and butter together until smooth. Stir in the milk and green onion until evenly mixed. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve piping hot in bowls. Set out some extra butter for individuals to add to their servings.

HOMEMADE MUSTARDS

Steps:

• In a nonreactive container, combine mustard seeds with alcohol (beer, wine, or sherry; according to recipe) and vinegar. Let sit 48 hours. Check periodically to make sure seeds are covered by liquid; add more if necessary.
• Transfer seeds and liquid to a food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Process until seeds become creamy, 4 to 6 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 1 week before using to let the flavors develop. The mustard will keep for up to 1 month.

MUSTARD CHAMP

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 15 mins or until tender. Drain, then mash.
• Heat the milk and half the butter in the corner of the pan, then beat into the mash, along with the wholegrain mustard.
• Gently fry the spring onions in the remaining butter for 2 mins until just soft but still a perky green. Fold into the mash and serve. Great with gammon or to top a fish pie.
