Description
Mustard cream sauce is a rich, tangy, and velvety condiment made with Dijon mustard, cream, and a touch of garlic—ideal for drizzling over chicken, pork, fish, or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp whole grain mustard (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice or white wine (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Whisk in Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard (if using). Let simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Add lemon juice or white wine if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm over meat or vegetables. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- Adjust mustard to taste—more for boldness, less for subtlety.
- Pairs especially well with grilled chicken, seared pork chops, or roasted asparagus.
