Grain Mustard Jus Recipes

GRAIN-MUSTARD JUS

Steps:

• Place a strainer lined with cheesecloth over a medium bowl; set aside. In a heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the pork. Cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn meat, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then add remaining tablespoon of oil, and garlic. Stir for 1 minute. Add onion, celery, carrot, mustard seeds and bay leaf. Saute until vegetables have softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Add tomato paste to the pan, increase heat to medium and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with wine, scraping up all bits on the side and bottom. Reduce until almost dry, then add stock. Reduce by half and strain into a clean pan. Stir in mustard and keep warm. Spoon over sliced pork.

STANDING RIB ROAST WITH STOUT-MUSTARD JUS

Steps:

• Combine the chopped garlic, chopped thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl; stir in the olive oil to make a paste. Rub the garlic paste all over the rib roast and let sit at room temperature, 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Scatter the smashed garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, carrots, celery and onion in a large roasting pan. Place the rib roast fat-side up on top of the vegetables. Pour 1 1/2 bottles stout into the bottom of the pan. Roast until the meat begins to brown and crisp on top, about 30 minutes.
• Baste the meat with the pan juices and reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Continue to roast, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 115 degrees F to 120 degrees F for medium rare, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer to a platter or cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, make the jus: Set the roasting pan over 2 burners and add the remaining 1/2 bottle stout and the beef broth. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by about one-third, 6 to 8 minutes. Strain into a fat separator, discarding the vegetables. Pour the liquid into a saucepan, leaving any fat in the cup. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then whisk in the mustard. Cover and keep warm. To carve, position the roast so the bones are pointing up, then use a chef?s knife to remove the bones in one piece; thinly slice the meat against the grain. Serve with the jus.

CROWN ROAST OF PORK WITH GRAIN-MUSTARD JUS

Steps:

• Place the roast, bone end up, in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
• In a small skillet, melt the butter and add onion. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat, bread crumbs, parsley and cooked onion. Mix well.
• Pack one-quarter of the sausage mixture around the base of the roast and the remaining into the center.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine fennel seeds, orange zest, kosher salt, cracked pepper and garlic. Spread the fennel mixture around the top of stuffing inside the roast and over the interior of the chops. Cover the tip of each bone with foil, and cover the sausage at the base of the roast with a band of foil.
• Roast for 2 1/2 hours, or until the temperature taken in the center of a chop reads 150 degrees. (Once the crust browns, cover it with foil for remainder of baking time.) Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Place on platter. Serve two chops per person, with stuffing and jus.

• Cook the pork, turning occasionally, until done, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the skillet, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Reserve the pan juices.
• To the juices in the skillet, add the mustards, sour cream and any accumulated juices from the resting pork.

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450*F.
• Prepare the chicken by gently easing your fingertips between the skin and the meat at the neck opening, to loosen the skin all over the breast, taking care not to tear the skin.
• Insert the parsley sprig, basil or rosemary under the skin.
• Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the chicken over high heat.
• Add the olive oil and swirl it in the skillet.
• As soon as you begin to see slight wisps of smoke, carefully place the chicken skin side down in the skillet.
• Sear the chicken, undisturbed, while reducing the heat little by little to medium, until it's skin has turned golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Carefully turn the chicken skin side up.
• Put the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh meat is pierced with a thin skewer, 10 to 15 minutes more, depending on it's size.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet with tongs and transfer it to a cutting board.
• Pour off all but a thin glaze of fat from the skillet.
• Return the skillet to high heat, add the chicken stock and the lemon juice, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
• Boil the liquid down until it has reduced by half it's volume, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn down the heat and add the mustard, stirring briskly with a wire whisk.
• Add the butter a piece at a time to make a creamy sauce, making sure each piece has been incorporated completely before adding the next.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in half of the parsley or basil.
• To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of two to four heated plates.
• With a large sharp knife, cut the chicken into two halves or four equal pieces.
• Place the chicken on the plates, sprinkle with the remaining parsley or basil and serve.
