Notes
Nutrition calculations were done using ¼ cup olive oil (instead of pan juices).
- Although I've found that using ¼ cup of the pan juices enhances the flavor of the mustard sauce, feel free to substitute the pan juices with mayonnaise.
- You can also substitute the pan juices with olive oil for a healthier alternative.
- Red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar can be used in the recipe.
- If you don't have Dijon mustard, substitute with plain mustard and a tablespoon or more of horseradish sauce.
- Try experimenting with other herbs and spices to see what you can come up with.
