Creamy Mustard Vinaigrette
Jan 16, 2023
This recipe makes enough for 4 servings, or 6 cups (1.5 L) torn lettuce and sliced vegetables, but you can double or triple the ingredients and make enough for a couple days. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Light sour cream whisked in at the end gives the sauce a velvety texture.
Partially cooking the potatoes in the microwave oven reduces grilling time.
Pure Canadian maple syrup, pure fancy molasses and sweet mustard blend with the flavour of the two-pepper rub on pork tenderloin for an "mmm..." sweet and spicy finish. Casual entertaining proves far more enjoyable if preparation is fairly simple, allowing the cook an opportunity to benefit along with the guests. Pork tenderloin, properly skinned and cleaned, makes the perfect surface for a dry rub. Rubbed with a simple mixture of freshly ground pepper, cayenne and a dash of salt, the tenderloin can be prepared as far ahead as the night before or just before guests arrive. Initially grilled on high for 10 minutes, it is then brushed with a prepared glaze and finished grilling. Once done, it is removed from the heat and tented with foil for approximately 5-10 minutes. To serve, slice pork and fan around a platter. Drizzle remaining glaze over the meat. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed honey dill carrots and a fresh garden salad on the side. Alternately, plate individually (pictured).
Zesty wings add flair to a festive table. The yogurt keeps them tender and juicy, but, for crispier wings, broil for the final few minutes.
Instead of buying barbecue sauce, let a homemade glaze add sweet yet tangy flavour to meals. Brush it on in the last few minutes of grilling so it doesn't burn. Refrigerate unused glaze in airtight container for up to 1 month.
Serve with Corn on the Cob and Pepper Rice (see recipe links below).
If you cook the ham first thing in the morning, you will have enough time for it to rest while the egg dish bakes. Enjoy the leftovers the next day.
