Honey and Mustard sauce
I was not going to post anything about the really "run of the mill" supper we had last night, but then to liven it up a bit I made a Honey and Mustard sauce that is well worth mentioning and it will certainly be made again.
Ingredients:
1 large Onion, very finely chopped
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Wholegrain mustard
Knob Butter
125ml Home made chicken stock (warmed up)
125ml Double cream
salt
Method:
Heat the pan over a medium heat and add the butter,
once melted (don't let it burn) add the onion.
Fry the onion on a medium heat for quite a while, until softened
Add the honey, and allow the honey to dissolve.
Add the chicken stock and the whole grain mustard.
Turn up the heat and add the cream, stir to mix and bring to the boil.
Turn the heat down again and simmer until the sauce reduces to the consistency you want!
Season with salt if necessary.
Notes:
I told you that I use the chicken stock in everything!!
I served the sauce over shop bought pork nuggets with mash and sweet corn, mundane meal made slightly interesting with this nice sauce.
If you have people in your home that do not like the texture of the onion in the sauce, either chop them finer, or cut them rough and sieve them out at the end.
Depending on your taste you can adjust the ratio of honey to mustard, I find that a 50/50 mix works well, but some might say that it is too sweet and would prefer more of the mustard flavour coming through.
Enjoy it, I would think that this would even go well with a nicely grilled pork chop!
