Mustard Sauce

Mustard Sauce

The famed yellow sauce that is very often used for burgers, sandwiches and hotdogs. Made from seeds that belong to the mustard plant. These seeds are ground and mixed with water, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and at times other flavourings or spices. There are a variety of mustards and the colours range from a bright yellow to a brownish yellow depending on what all has been mixed in.

The taste of mustard is pungent at a base level but ranges from sweet to spicy based on the specific combination of ingredients. The basic heat and pungency come from the same ingredient that gives radish, wasabi and garlic their heat; it is known as 'allyl isothiocyanate'.
