August '13 Staff Selection: Edmond Fallot Mustards

This month's Staff Selection is from Richard Sparks. Read on to see what he has to say about his pick, the Edmond Fallot Mustards. These are 10% off all month long!


Summer farmers' market fare is great with a splash of mustard! The Edmond Fallot collection of Dijon-style mustards offers up wonderful options for dousing sausages, creating exciting vinaigrettes, basting a grilled roast or topping off a burger. For a variety of foods, the rustic grainy or silky smooth Dijons jack up the flavors of potato salad, slaws and a lot more.


Family-owned Fallot has been creating strong & biting mustards for the gourmands of Burgundy since 1840.
After a fun morning running into favorite Provenance vendors like Sharpening by Dave, River Valley Mushrooms & Spark of the Heart at the Independence Park Farmers Market, my partner and I went home & put together a lovely Sunday dinner. Here are some of the mustardy highlights! Find yourself a bright & refreshing white wine to pair with this meal, like South African Chenin Blanc or Spanish Albarino.

Marinated Chicken Skewers (From a Logan Sq customer; had to try this!)

•50/50 blend of yogurt and mustard of your choice
•Finely chopped garlic
•Fresh oregano, chopped
•Red pepper flakes

All items "to taste". Create enough marinade to generously cover the amount of chicken skewers or other protein. Cover & refrigerate for a few hours. Grill & enjoy!

Hilda's Potato Salad

•6-8 medium new red potatoes
•3 eggs
•5 scallions or ½ larger red onion (or combo), chopped
•2 stalks celery, chopped
•2 TBSP finely chopped red bell pepper
•3/4 cup mayonnaise or combo mayo & yogurt
•1 TBSP Dijon mustard
•2-3 TBSP pickle juice
•salt, pepper & sweet Hungarian paprika to taste

Scrub & boil the potatoes until tender. I leave the skins on. Boil the eggs. Allow potatoes & eggs to cool. Chop eggs & cut potatoes into bite sizes of your choice. Add in all the veggies & toss. Salt, pepper & sprinkle paprika to taste. In a separate small bowl, combine the mayo, mustard & pickle juice until smooth. Pour over the salad, and again stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Chill before serving if you can wait that long!
