MUSTARD SAUCE RECIPES

Smoked Bologna Sliders

6 Slices of Bologna, 1/4” thick, from your local deli or meat store
1/3 Cup BBQ Dry Rub
1 Large Onion, caramelized
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
12 King’s Hawaiian Rolls
1 cup of Jimmy Ray’s Mustard Sauce

Preheat a smoker with your favorite smoke flavor to 225 degrees. Moderately apply your favorite BBQ Rub to both sides of the bologna and place on the smoker for about 30 minutes.  Note: you do not want to cook the bologna; just set the rub and get a nice smoke on it.  

Pan fry the bologna in the oil (both sides) for 1 minute on each side.  Cut the slices into quarters.  Place 2 quarters on each roll and top with a heaping spoonful of the caramelized onions.  

Put a generous tablespoon of Jimmy Ray’s Mustard Sauce on top of the onions and cover with the top half of the roll.

 

Cuban with Mustard Sauce

2-3 pound Pork Roast cut into 1/2” cubes
1 Tsp each of Cumin, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, Kosher Salt
4 Kaiser Rolls
4 slices Provolone Cheese
Dill Pickles to taste
1 cup of Jimmy Ray’s Mustard Sauce

You could use pulled pork; but use cubed pork. Thoroughly mix the cubes with the spices. 

Next, cook the cubes in a crock pot until cooked through and tender (we use a pressure cooker).  

Slice the buns lengthwise and toast under a broiler until nice and brown. 

Place the provolone cheese on the buns then return to the broiler just until the cheese melts.  

Then, evenly put the meat on top of the bottom half of the bun and top with the dill pickles, we like a little coleslaw too!  

Lastly, put a generous amount of the Jimmy Ray’s Mustard Sauce on the sandwich and close it up with the top bun!

 

Crispy Grilled Wings

2 lbs. Chicken Wings
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Corn Starch
1-1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Paprika
1/2 tsp. Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
Bleu Cheese and Ranch Dressing (optional)
Carrot and celery spears (optional)

Using a sharp knife, cut through the 2 wing joints, discarding wing tips.
Place the remaining wing pieces in a bowl. Add oil and toss to coat.
In a small bowl, mix together Corn Starch through Black Pepper. Sprinkle over wings and toss to coat.
GRILL METHOD: Grill wings on an oiled rack, covered over medium heat.
OVEN METHOD: Cover a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper, and place rack on top. Add wings and broil 4 in. from heat until crisp and juices run clear, 20-25 minutes turning occasionally.
With either method cook wings until an internal temperature of 165° F is reached.
Brush with Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce and serve. Be sure to set out extra sauce for the sauceaholics. For a traditional finish, set out Bleu Cheese and Ranch Dressing with carrots and celery.

Sweet Mustard Salmon

1 slab of Salmon (any size you like!)
1 gallon Water
2/3 Cup Kosher Salt
2/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
2/3 Cup Jimmy Ray’s Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce
1/4 Cup of your favorite Seafood Seasoning (like Old Bay)

First, brine your salmon. This process gives it a bit of flavor and eliminates the “fishy” taste.  Do this by combining the water, Kosher salt, and Light Brown Sugar. Place the salmon in the container with the brine and refrigerate for 4 hours.  

Next, remove the salmon from the brine and rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle seafood seasoning over the salmon (both sides) and cook to 140 degrees on your smoker, grill or in a 400° F oven for 12 minutes. Baste the salmon with Jimmy Ray’s Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce and return to the smoker, grill or oven and cook to 150 degrees (or until fish flakes easily).  Your salmon will be moist and flavorful!

Mustard Brussel Sprouts

1 pound Brussels sprouts

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce 

Heat a grill to medium.

Cut off the stem end of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Place the Brussels sprouts into a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. Add the olive oil, garlic, paprika and salt and toss to combine.

Allow the sprouts to cool until you can handle them. Skewer 4 to 5 Brussels sprouts onto each metal skewer with the stem ends facing in the same direction, leaving at least 1/2-inch in between each sprout. Place the skewers onto the grill with the stem end closest to the flame.

Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the skewers over and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the sprouts from the skewers, return them to the original mixing bowl, and drizzle with Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Pulled Pork Onion Bun Sandwich

3-4 pounds pork shoulder, bone in or boneless
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
1 onion, chopped
Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and brown sugar. Rub this all over the pork.
Heat a large skillet or pot with about 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork shoulder on all sides about 3-4 minutes per side.

Place pork shoulder in the slow cooker with the onions and cook on the low setting for 8 hours.
 After 8 hours, shred the pork with two forks and mix it all up with the "pan sauce" that's inside the slow cooker.

Serve pulled pork generously drizzled with Jimmy Ray
Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce on toasted onion buns.

Junk Heap Brat

5 Fresh Brats
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 Brat Buns
Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce
For Garnish use whatever you like and have on hand (no such thing as too much on the junk heap) This one has Caramelized Onion, Pickled Jalapeño Slices, and thinly sliced Sweet Pepper.
Light charcoal and spread it evenly across the bottom of one-half of the grill. If using propane, light burners only on one side of the grill.

Place grill grates over the charcoal and oil grates with paper towel soaked in vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place brats on grates directly over charcoal and grill on each side until browned. If the casing bursts or burns move brats further from the coals to reduce cooking temperature.

Turn the brats every couple of minutes to prevent burning, moving them further away from the hot coals if needed, and cook brats for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.Cooked brats are firm to the touch. About 5 minutes before brats are ready place brat buns cut side down to brown. Keep an eye on them, they can turn fast. 

Serve on buns covered with Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce with your choice of garnishes.

Pulled Pork Tacos

Carnitas
12 oz. Leftover Pulled Pork
2 Tbsp Lime Juice
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
1 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 Minced Garlic Clove

Taco Ingredients
6 Street Taco Tortillas
1/4 Fresh Lime
1/2 Jalapeno Pepper
Slivered Red Onion
Jimmy Ray's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce

For toppings:
Chopped Cilantro
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Seasoned Sour Cream

 

Prep your carnitas by whisking all of the ingredients together in a large bowl, then mix in your leftover pulled pork until the liquid has been absorbed.

Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the pulled pork mixture. Allow the meat to sear for a few minutes, then flip and sear the other side to create crispy carnitas. Remove from heat. Mix in Jimmy Ry's Sweet and Tangy Mustard Sauce to your preference.

Toast your tortillas by either adding them to your hot pan, or by putting them directly on the stovetop flame for about 30 seconds per side (if you go this route, be very careful and use tongs to remove the tortillas from the heat).

Add roughly 2 oz. of the pulled pork to each tortilla.

Dice or slice up jalapeno, then add those on top of your pulled pork. Prep any additional toppings like shredded cheese, or queso, and enjoy tacos your way.
Add some fresh cilantro to your pulled pork tacos and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, then enjoy!
