I remember the first time I ever tasted Dijon mustard.
I was at my aunt’s house many many year ago ( I was probably about 7-8 years old) and she made me a sandwich. I mean, she asked me what I wanted in my sandwich and I said mustard. She brought me the sandwich and when I took my first bite, I said to myself: This is not mustard!
Tadaaaa! It was Dijon! As you can tell, I really disliked the taste at first.
Not anymore!
Now I even make pasta with Dijon ladies and gentlemen!
With fresh pasta, chives, lemon, mushrooms… YUM! (Pictures with button mushrooms)
Oh and Almonds and cream! (Only Karl had Almonds since I can’t eat them but he said it was very good!)
Have you ever made pasta with Dijon?
Enjoy!
