Cooking Dill Honey Mustard Sauce: The Process
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Mince the red onion finely and chop the fresh dill. This will ensure that the flavors meld beautifully in your sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, add the 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 teaspoons of unseasoned rice vinegar. Using a whisk, blend these ingredients together until they form a smooth mixture.
- Stir in the minced red onion and chopped dill into the mustard mixture. These will add texture and flavor depth to the sauce, making it irresistible.
- Sprinkle in the ground black pepper. This little addition will elevate the flavor profile of your sauce, making it even more delightful.
- Slowly drizzle in the 3 tablespoons of mild olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help emulsify the sauce, giving it a creamy consistency.
- Give your sauce a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more honey. If you want it tangier, a splash more of vinegar can do wonders!
Notes
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before using as ingredients may separate.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Customize the flavor by adding fresh herbs, garlic, spices, or citrus zest.
- Try different mustards like yellow or honey mustard for variation.
- The sauce is great as a dressing, dip, or glaze for multiple dishes.
