Ever since I was little, I've had this sort of "obsession" with mustard. I'm talking about the standing-in-front-of the-fridge-eating-mustard-out-of-the-jar kind of obsession. Sounds weird, I know, but what can I say?! Could be worse, right?

I remember back home in Spain, my parents would buy this amazing grain mustard, that came in a big, fat ceramic jar with a cork as a lid. Authentic, imported directly from France (our neighbor). Man, was that good. I used to eat it right out of the jar back then too, but my mom also made the most amazing dishes with it: from mustard crusted rack of lamb to simple, yet incredibly flavorful salad dressing. Luckily for me, here in the US I can still enjoy the same high quality, authentic mustard, thanks to Maille.

As I grew older and became a vegetarian, that obsession grew even stronger. Which makes sense if you think about it: mustard is a great way to infuse flavor into your favorite recipes, and with so many varieties to choose from, you can always keep it fun and exciting. So if you think it's just a condiment, think again!

The recipe we're sharing today is the perfect example.
