Mustard-Ginger Cream Sauce
Recipe
This wonderful cream sauce is a fantastic addition to warm astringent dishes (quiche, eggless potato ‘omelette’ or on an open savoury sandwich). Saying that, I’m the last person on earth to be called a ‘food purist’ and thus my philosophy on mixing flavours is this: if it tastes good FOR YOU, go for it. And I would certainly advise you to go for it and make this delicious cream sauce. :)
