There must be as many recipes for roasted red peppers as there are cooks but that's okay because this is not about the red pepper, roasted, charred or otherwise. This is about the mustard. Okay, kind of silly I know, but typically mustard is the dance partner, not the lead. In this humble sauce though, mustard can both lead and follow. It can be assertive, or gentle but is rhythmic, if not tame. The red pepper will follow mustard's lead or give up a twirl of it's own without stealing the show. They can do the tango if you like it caliente, or the waltz if you prefer a little more cream. Bottom line is, this sauce is a workhorse that can do the job better than many. Since a sauce, by nature, always has a leading lady, I wanted to pair it with a real star (unadorned) to show that, as in life, there is always room for more than one star in the show. <br /> <br />There are as many uses for this mustard (sauce) as there are ideas. I like it best with fresh tuna, grilled sausage or to dress white beans. It is good with each of these separately, but all actors combined and you have a real show. It goes well with crab cakes, roast pork and grilled prawns. I'm also thinking fennel, chicken, or a seasoning for soup. Sky's the limit - so think big and give it a whirl. <br />
