Chicken thighs are not only versatile, but very budget friendly when purchased in bulk. Boning and skinning them yourself is quite quick and simple.

Mustards

Prepared mustards are made from powdered mustard seeds combined with a variety of ingredients including vinegar, water, wine, beer and sugar, as well as other spices.

There are three types of mustard seeds: white, brown and black. The flavor of white mustard seeds is bitter, while brown and black mustard seeds are piquant and spicier. The yellow mustard found in America is made with white mustard seeds. The yellow color actually comes from the spice turmeric.

Most European and Asian mustards are made with brown mustard seeds and can range from the mellow Dijon style mustards of the French to the hot spicy Chinese mustards. These are blended into textures from smooth to coarse. The recipes on this Web site are specific as to the type of mustard used.

Mustards do vary in the amount of fat and salt that they have. The info below is from one of my favorite Dijon style mustards.
