Mustard sauce
Description
Use ready-made store-bought mustard or dry mustard powder for preparing the sauce. The main thing is not to overdo the main ingredient so that the sauce doesn't turn out too bitter. You can add any spices and herbs to taste. Adjust the sauce's thickness according to your preference—simmer longer for a thicker consistency, or shorter for a thinner one. This sauce is perfect served with pasta, meat, and vegetables.
