Nothing beats a good Paleo Mustard Sauce; This sauce is a twist on one of my favorite recipes from my grandmother. It is the perfect dipping sauce for Chicken, Pork, Ham, and Steak, not to mention it works great as a salad dressing. This sauce is great to make at the beginning of Sunday and enjoy with your favorite meats/salads all week long. It works great for dipping, but it is not so thick that you can't use it as a dressing. Having this sauce on hand provides the perfect pop of flavor to any quick weeknight dinner. With a great sauce, the different possibilities of what you can create with it are endless.
During the holidays, my grandmother's mustard sauce is a family staple to go with the ham. The original recipe used whipping cream, flour, sugar, distilled vinegar, and a few other items. While this sauce is fantastic, the ingredient list could have been better, so I set out to make a dairy-free, grain-free, sugar-free paleo mustard sauce with great success. After substituting ingredients one by one, I was finally able to come up with the perfect combination of ingredients that kept the great taste that I love and the thickness that makes it ideal for dipping.
How to make Paleo Mustard Sauce:
You start with Nutpods creamer. Why Nutpods, you ask? The creamer is thick enough to make it an excellent substitute for heavy whipping cream without affecting the taste of the sauce. I have tried all the nut milk and combinations of them, which worked best. If you can't get Nutpods, you could substitute a sugar-free plain cashew milk with a creamier consistency. You heat the creamer over low heat until hot but not boiling.
Next, add Honey, stirring until dissolved. Honey works excellently to naturally sweeten the mustard without altering its taste. Both maple syrup and coconut sugar work but give it a different taste. Then, you add Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar is the perfect substitute for white distilled vinegar, though it does provide a more pungent taste. When using it to substitute white vinegar, I suggest cutting it in half and then increasing it in increments till you get the desired flavor.
Once you incorporate those ingredients, you will use them to make your past. Combine the Arrowroot/Dry Mustard and some of the sauce, making it into a paste. It will allow you to incorporate it smoothly into the sauce without getting chunks. Once you have added the Mustard/Arrowroot paste and mixed it, add the two egg yolks. Give it a good stir and let it simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Turn off the heat and allow it to sit until it reaches room temperature. Store in an air-tight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
