Herb Mustard Rub Recipes

HOMEMADE HERB MUSTARD

Steps:

• Place the mustard seeds and dry mustard in a spice grinder or blender and blend until the seeds are broken up. A coarse grind gives the mustard some texture. Place the ground mustard seed and dry mustard in a bowl and pour the water over the top. Stir and cover. Let the mixture stand for 4 to 5 hours, stirring a few times.
• Put the mixture in a food processor and add vinegar, honey, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Puree until it's smooth. If mustard seems too dry, add warm water to make a smooth paste. Store in a jar at room temperature until the mustard mellows to your taste, up to 2 weeks for a very mellow mustard. Enjoy!

ROASTED LEMON HERB CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the seasoning, salt, mustard powder, garlic powder and black pepper; set aside. Rinse the chicken thoroughly, and remove the giblets. Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture inside the chicken. Rub the remaining mixture on the outside of the chicken.
• Squeeze the juice of the 2 lemons into a small bowl or cup, and mix with the olive oil. Drizzle this oil/juice mixture over the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until juices run clear, basting several times with the remaining oil mixture.

GRILLED STEAKS WITH MUSTARD-HERB RUB

Steps:

• Combine mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano and pepper. Spread mixture on both sides of steaks.
• Grill steaks over medium coals, turning occasionally, 11 to 14 minutes for medium-rare to medium (if using top loin steaks, grill a little longer), turning halfway through cooking time. Season with salt to taste.

COUNTRY MUSTARD RUBBED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, herb garden seasoning, garlic, honey and chopped parsley. Reserve 1/4 cup of the rub for serving.
• Transfer mustard mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops and thoroughly coat with the mustard mixture. Let the pork chops sit for at least 5 minutes or as long as overnight, in the refrigerator, before grilling.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chops for 6 to 7 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve sprinkled with the reserved rub.
