I haven’t always been an adventurous eater. Somewhere along the line, during late childhood or early adolescence, however, when my activities in the kitchen became a bit more experimental, I discovered the combination of sweet, savory, and to some–just plain odd.
This is one such combination. A bit of whole-grain mustard really adds texture, and a hint of flavor. If you’re not feeling adventurous, or don’t have any, feel free to forego using it. This recipe is perfect for a quick lunch this time of year, with all the holiday festivities and baking going on, and no real time to make yourself something truly good to squelch the midday hunger.
