How to make a wonderful sauce of apple and mustard

Apples have a wonderful property - they easily turn into something like jam, it is worth blanching for a while on the stove, but at the same time, they do not lose their taste and aroma for a long time. This property was used by Kostroma chef Anton Rubtsov, who heads Restaurant Groza (Palm Branch of the Restaurant Business Award 2020). In The Groz, Anton cultivates Russian drinking traditions, connecting them with modern technologies and mixing with them someone else's gastronomic experience.

In this article, we publish a recipe for apple mustard, which is prepared in a restaurant: a light sweet and sour jam mixed with soft Dijon mustard.

Below is a detailed master class, a recipe with ingredients, and Anton's comments.

Serve it perfectly with cheese. Various: seasoned, mushy, whatever. Mixes well with some lamb, which has historically been paired with sweet southern fruit sauces. Or a bird that always goes with apples. You can even throw it into the ready-made meat broth, and there is a lot of room for experiment. The main thing is to understand: it is sweet and sour, refreshing, tart.

 

Look for green, juicy, sweet, and sour apples like Granny Smith. The recipe indicates the weight of the already peeled apples, but their number can vary slightly - then the mustard will be either thicker or thinner.

 

If you like, you can try adding cinnamon, star anise, or both. It must be fun.
