Metric Martyrs

Any chef knows that it is as important to follow a recipe as it is to be able to change it to taste.  An easy way to add a little kick to your normal method of preparing a meal is to substitute your common mustard with Creole mustard. Creole mustard is a wholegrain variety of mustard that is slightly crushed to release a hot flavor from the grains.  It is thick and spicy with a coarse texture, and can be used to cook a wide variety of dishes.

Creole mustard is commonly available in an array of flavors. Fruits and honeys are typically included to add an element of sweetness to the natural punch of the condiment. To increase the intensity of the heat, peppercorns are sometimes blended in to the mustard. These types of mustard have a long shelf life, but make sure to store them in a dark place until you open them, at which point they will live out the remainder of their days in the refrigerator.
