FOR CONTEMPORARY SMOKED FOOD & GRILLED DISHES
Mustard rules when it comes to making seasoning pastes. It has just the right “cling.” We often opt for Dijon mustard when we’re working with poultry, but for pork, common yellow ballpark-style mustard adds a delectable tang. This paste is so undemanding to assemble that we just make up the amount we need for any batch of pork chops, sausages, or maybe even some franks. If you plan to slather pre-made sausages or dogs, use the smaller amount of salt.
