Ingredient: Dijon mustard Recipes
Fish Pie
Fish pie with the fish added raw so it never overcooks, and a sauce thick enough to hold. Serves 6 in about an hour, using hoki, snapper or terakihi.
Pasta Salad
Pasta salad that stays moist instead of drying out in the fridge. Serves 8 in 25 minutes, and why you cook the pasta past al dente for this one.
Coleslaw
Coleslaw that stays crunchy instead of going watery in an hour, with a proper creamy dressing. Serves 8 in 20 minutes, and it holds up on a buffet.
Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff in 30 minutes with tender steak and a sour cream sauce that does not split. Serves 4, and the cut of beef that makes the difference.
Potato Salad
Potato salad is on every New Zealand Christmas table and beside every barbecue from Labour Weekend to Easter, and most of it is disappointing in the same way: the potatoes taste of nothing and the dressing sits on the outside.
Glazed Christmas Ham
The Christmas ham is the least stressful thing on the table, because it arrives already cooked. You are not cooking a ham. You are warming it through and putting a glaze on it, and the entire job is about ninety minutes of oven time you can do the day before.
