Mustard and Rosemary Barbecue Sauce
Mustard has an affinity for grilled poultry, seafood and even pork chops. Here, whole-grain mustard provides the main flavor, but it is mellowed by Dijon mustard and accented by rosemary, white wine, green onion and garlic. This sauce goes together quickly, can be easily doubled and keeps well in the refrigerator. To prevent foods from scorching, apply the sauce only during the last 10 minutes of grilling. If the sauce is in direct contact with the heat for longer, it may burn.
