Dijon makes everything better

We love our dijon mustard around here and thought we'd share some recipes that have been enhanced by this ingredient! At Christmas, Kathy and the boys sent us a large jar of mustard that they had made, which got us motivated to start making our own mustard. Below you will find the mustard recipe from Kathy, along with some recipes that we love using dijon mustard. In fact, all four of these recipes would probably come together well for a whole meal. Enjoy!

DIJON-ROASTED RED CABBAGE - recipe from www.HeathersDish.com

• 1 small head of red cabbage, shredded (mine was about the size of a large grapefruit)
• 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400.  Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.  In a bowl whisk together the mustard, Worchestershire sauce, oil, garlic, salt and pepper.  You want the mixture to be fairly runny, so if it’s thick then add a bit more Worchestershire.  Toss the cabbage with the wet ingredients in a large bowl and then spread evenly over the baking sheet.  Roast at 400 for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes, until the leaves are starting to get both tender and crunchy at the same time (I roasted mine for about 25).  Remove from oven and eat either hot or at room temperature.
