Those who said vegetarian meals were bland and boring will regret it once they taste this healthy, tasty and balanced meal. Take your favorite Fry’s Chicken Strips and serve them with a creamy mustard sauce. And of course we can’t forget the colored sides. Braised red cabbage, roasted potatoes and broccoli – delicious!
Mustard – more than just a flavor
Mustard can have a variety of tastes such as bitter, sweet, pungent, or even tart, and that’s why we love it so much. However, this popular condiment is also packed with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that can provide you with many health benefits.
Here are some quick health facts about mustard:
- Mustard may improve your sleep quality due to its high magnesium content
- It can increase bone strength due to its richness in calcium and selenium.
- People who have mustard seeds in their diet are less likely to develop a risk of cancer.
- Finally, mustard is also rich in copper and iron, necessary for the regulation of blood flow and the formation of red blood cells.
All about balance
Not only is this meal well-balanced, but the flavors balance out wonderfully as well. Mustard remains the star flavor of the dish, with the side dishes complementing it in a subtle way. Neither side is overpowering, with fragrant rosemary flavors from the potatoes and richer flavors of balsamic, red wine and cinnamon from the cabbage.
