Rocklands’ Speedy Mustard Grill Sauce Recipe

June 29, 2011 by Bishop Snedden

A while ago we whipped up a couple of quick sauces for a television appearance. While Rocklands Original Barbeque Sauce takes time and lots of stirring to develop its tangy-sweet character, this mustard sauce is one you can assemble pretty fast.

Key Ingredient:

The mustard is key in here, so use one you really like. Classic (not too hot) dijon mustards, good old brown and yellow mustards — they are all good and very different from each other.

  • Prep time: 15 minutes
  • Serving size: 2.5 cups

Ingredients:

Makes: Enough for those July 4th vultures crowded around your grill

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mustard
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black peper

Instructions:

  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter; add onions and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, sauté for 1 more minute.
  3. Add mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, hot sauce, salt and pepper.
  4. Mix well.
  5. Bring to a boil; turn off heat.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Brush the sauce generously on partially grilled fish, chicken, sausages, or vegetables.
  • Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips

  • Experiment with different mustards to find your perfect flavor combination.
  • You can also play with the vinegar: Try substituting a bit of balsamic vinegar for the white vinegar to add depth.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

We’d love to hear how you used it!
