And even if you live further away, you will not have to miss out on the culinary delights. How about a Düsseldorf Mustard Roast for your Easter Menu? It is one of the many regional specialties of Düsseldorf; probably because it is the home of "Löwensenf", a mustard famous across borders. Other than the name suggests, however, this recipe is not about a classic pot roast, but about flash-fried meat. Exclusively for you, Gaby-Anita shared her recipe for the unique mustard crust:

Düsseldorf Mustard Crust

The crust does not only taste delicious with a Düsseldorf Mustard Roast, but can be added to many different meats, e.g. to a roast saddle of lamb, a rump steak or fillet steak, but also very much to a pork chop or a pork steak.

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 4 shallots, peeled and very finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. medium-hot Löwensenf
  • 1 tbsp. chopped leaf parsley
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp. cream
  • salt and pepper to season
  • olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Birefly sauté the shallots in a pot with only a dash of olive oil and then leave to cool.
  2. Thoroughly whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, cream and parsley in a mixing bowl and stir in the shallots.
  3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast some steaks. Shortly before they are done, brush them with the shalllot and mustard mixture. Gratinate in the oven with full top-heat.

As a side, we recommend roast potatoes and green beans.

The kitchen team from the RiverSide Restaurant wishes you bon appétit and happy Easter! We are looking forward to spoiling you with our creations in person again soon!
