Calling All Mustard Lovers!
I recently got the chance to review an awesome new cookbook: Mustard Makeovers & More! Â The cookbook features 100 recipes geared toward feeding a busy family!
If you have been reading Hungry Hobby for a while you already know I like mustard enough to lick off a spoon and use it as plain salad dressing.  I love the flavor of mustard, but outside of a condiment I hardly ever use it in recipes.  Oh how this cookbook will forever change things!  The cookbook features a ton of different categories, some very unexpected, using mustard as a flavor enhancing ingredient.  Categories include:
- breads, buns, mufins and more
- appetizers, dips, spreads and sauces
- salads and salad dressings
- main dishes
- one pot meals, soups, stews, and casseroles
- side dishes
- pizzas, pitas, tacos and sandwiches
- sweets and treats (honey mustard munch mix & honey mustard mini cheesecakes are on my need to make immediately list)
In addition the cookbook features tons of education on types of mustard, nutrition benefits of mustard, fun facts, tips for cooking with kids and more. Â If you are a mustard lover like me and looking for new ways to pack flavor into your meals you’ve definitely got to check out this delicious cookbook.
Chickpea & Sweet Potato Patties
My friends at Sask Mustard provided me with a copy of Mustard Makeovers & More for me to review and they gave me the green light to pick a recipe to share with you! Â I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and make something I don’t typically make. Â I’ve really been trying to incorporate more beans into my diet for the International Year of Pulses. Â Unfortunately I don’t like beans on their own so I’m always looking for creative ways to sneak them in. Â I made these sweet potato chickpea patties and they were a huge hit!
Since Mr. Hungry can’t have gluten I don’t have any whole wheat in the house. Â So, I substituted 1/3 cup oat flour for the bread crumbs and it worked out perfectly! Â Be really careful not to over process, you don’t want it super smooth you want it a bit chunky so it sticks together!
