Maille Mustard Collection: les Jardins Secrets des Chefs, Sunchoke and Potato Salad Recipe and Beet and Burrata Salad Recipe

June 9, 2016 by Renee

Maille Mustards- 2016 SpringA few weeks ago, we attended a cocktail party at the Tasting Table kitchen where Maille, known for their fabulous Dijon mustard, introduced their limited-edition collection of gourmet vegetable-flavored mustards called Les Jardins Secrets des Chefs (French for The Chefs’ Secret Gardens). This trio of mustards is characterized by the herbal and vegetable influences of the season.

The three featured mustards―Mustard with Carrot and a Hint of Shallot, Mustard with Olives and Herbes de Provence, and Mustard with White Wine, Beetroot, and a Hint of Honey―were each unique in terms of flavor and spice level. Guided by Pierette Huttner, the first mustard sommelier in the United States, we tried each one on their own, and you can really taste the distinctive herbs and vegetables in each one.

All of the dishes that Tasting Table prepared that night featured these mustards or other Maille products and everything was incredibly flavorful. But out of all the dishes, I absolutely loved the Sunchoke and Potato Salad and the Beet and Burrata Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette. I kept going back for more (and more). So instead of parking myself by the buffet table where these salads were,  I requested the recipes for both and they happily sent them to me. So I am sharing them here with you.

Sunchoke and Potato Salad-3348

Sunchoke and Potato Salad
This is the potato salad you are going to want to eat all summer long! Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, are sweet and nutty when roasted and add such a delicious tone to this potato salad. While this recipe does not feature one of the three mustards above, it does have another excellent blend that you should definitely add to your dishes-the Sun Dried Tomato & Espelette Chili Pepper mustard.

Recipe from the Tasting Table Test Kitchen for Maille Mustard
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes, plus cooling time
Total Time: 55 minutes, plus cooling time

INGREDIENTS
For the Roasted Sunchokes:
1 pound sunchokes, scrubbed
¼ cup olive oil
2 thyme sprigs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Fried Shallots:
Canola oil, for frying
6 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandolin
3 tablespoons AP flour
Kosher salt, to taste

For the Boiled Potatoes and Greens:
1 pound baby new potatoes
Kosher salt, to taste
1 bunch (about 7 ounces) mustard Greens, destemmed

For the Dressing:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons Maille Sun Dried Tomato & Espelette Chili Pepper mustard
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
2 tablespoons roughly chopped tarragon

DIRECTIONS
1. Make the roasted sunchokes: Preheat the oven to 350º and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, toss the roasted sunchoke ingredients together and spread out on to the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the sunchokes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Once cooled, slice into ¼ inch rings.

2. Make the fried shallots: In a medium saucepan, heat 2 inches of canola oil over medium heat to 325º and line a plate with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shallots with the AP flour to coat. Working in batches, fry the shallots until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to the prepared plate to drain.Immediately season with salt.

3. Boil the potatoes and greens: Prepare an ice bath and set aside. In a medium pot, add the potatoes. Cover completely with cold water and season liberally with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then lower the temperature to a simmer and allow to cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the water with a slotted spoon and place in the prepared ice bath until the potatoes are fully cooled.Remove the potatoes from the ice bath and slice into ¼inch rings.

4. To the same pot, add the mustard greens and cook until vibrant green and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the greens to the ice bath and let cool completely, then ring out with paper towels until dry. Place the greens on a cutting board and roughly chop.

5. Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Add the reserved sunchokes, potatoes and greens and toss until the vegetables are coated well.

6. Transfer the salad to a platter and garnish with fried shallots, then serve.

Beet and Burrata Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

This incredible salad with candied sunflower seeds, roasted beets and creamy burrata is a keeper!

Recipe from the Tasting Table Test Kitchen for Maille Mustard
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus cooling time
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes, plus cooling time

INGREDIENTS
For the Roasted Beets:
1½ pounds (4 medium) red beets, whole
1 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

For the Candied Sunflower Seeds:
½ cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Flaky sea salt, to taste

For the Vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons Maille Beet Mustard with a Touch of Honey
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 garlic clove, grated
¼ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

For the Assembly:
One 8 ounce ball burrata cheese, roughly torn
1 cup mache
½ cup pomegranate seeds
1 small golden beet, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandolin
1 tablespoon Maille Honey Dijon with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
1 tablespoon olive oil

DIRECTIONS
1. Make the roasted beets: Preheat the oven to 350º. In an 8 inch square baking dish combine all the beet ingredients and toss to coat. Cover with tin foil and roast the beets until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow the beets to cool completely, then peel, and cut each into 8 pieces.

2. Meanwhile, make the candied sunflower seeds: In a small bowl, toss the candied sunflower seed ingredients until well incorporated. Spread into an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast sunflower seeds in the same oven as the beets until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool on the baking sheet. Using your hands, break apart any clumps of sunflower seeds, then set aside.

3. Make the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Maille Beet Mustard with a Touch of Honey, honey, lemon zest and garlic clove until smooth. Slowly start to pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until all the oil is emulsified and a vinaigrette is formed. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the salad: In a medium bowl, toss the roasted beets with half of the vinaigrette. Transfer to a platter and top with pieces of the torn burrata. In the same bowl as the beets, dress the mache with the remaining vinaigrette. Pile the mache over the beets and burrata. Garnish with the reserved candied sunflower seeds, pomegranate seeds and sliced golden beet. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey dijon with the olive oil and drizzle on top of the salad, then serve.

image1 (1)As you know, I am a huge fan of Maille products, so it was fun to learn about all these blends and to taste dishes actually created with them. Of course, with the opening of Maille’s Manhattan boutiques, Maille’s signature “mustard on tap” is now available here in the US. They are served from authentic French ceramic pumps into cute earthenware pots which are then corked. They are reusable and refillable and also make excellent gifts! Plus, each store has their special blends and seasonal collections available. It’s almost like visiting their stores in Paris!

I also just found out that you can even attend a “Create Your Own Mustard” class at Maille’s new flagship boutique in the Flatiron district, as well as at Maille’s Lincoln Square location on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. I think I will be signing up for that soon!

Disclosure: I received a collection of mustards as a parting gift and some were sent to me to make these recipes and while I was under no obligation to post, I did so anyways because I just love Maille products and wanted to share them with you.

Last night as part of dinner we made one of my fav Last night as part of dinner we made one of my favorite summer salads- a peach, mozzarella di bufala, and tomato salad. Normally it’s the bits of cheese and tomatoes that are the treat, but the peaches were incredible-so sweet.  By the end we were just picking the peaches out. Good thing I bought several just to eat too- peaches from Spain and France, white, pink and orange. #peaches #salad #summer #summereats #mozzarella #buffalomozzarella #mozzarelladibufala #summersalad #stonefruit #yum #goodeats #spain #france #peche

Today we went to the beach and tonight we had the Today we went to the beach and tonight we had the traditional English roast for dinner at The Presbytere. Do you see the size of that Yorkshire Pudding? Incredible! And it was filled with the most luscious and velvety gravy. Again, every course was perfect.  For dessert we had the same as last night- zucchini cake and a white chocolate cream over crumbles and gooseberries. I really need to get these recipes! They had live music as well and we enjoyed the outside garden once again.  #normandie #normandy #normandietourisme #dinner #englishroast
Not to be missed! Had such a terrific dinner at Th Not to be missed! Had such a terrific dinner at The Presbytere last night, the new restaurant by Chef Edward Delling-Williams. The beautifully converted building is situated near the estuary of the Sienne where some ingredients are foraged. We sat outside in the breezy sea air and it couldn’t have been a more perfect evening. We drank Spritz’s and Pimm’s while we perused the menu. Though described as a gastro pub, the food is truly on another level, where fresh, local ingredients are highlighted. We shared starters of pork rillettes with a lightly smoked onion powder, a thick slice of house made lamb terrine served with a tangy walnut, English pickle and prune catsup, and a plate of simply marinated red peppers, all served with a generous basket of perfectly crusty bread with a soft, chewy center. For our mains, we debated over the whole fish and wished we had more people with us for the leg of lamb to share but in the end we chose the veal, thin slices served rare over fresh green beans with a deeply developed reduction sauce, as well as a plate of green and yellow zucchini served with a house made ricotta, apricot purée, chervil and a hint of mint. Each bite was better than the one before. We shared a bottle of Petit Chablis and the delightful, friendly sommelier confirmed that we couldn’t go wrong with our choice.  She was right! Fruity, light and delicious. Dessert is always my favorite part of any meal and the courgette cake (zucchini) was divine. A dreamy, light cream cheese frosting adorned this soaked, dense, sweet cake filled with bits of zucchini and carrots. I make zucchini cake (bread/muffins) often and nothing I’ve ever made even compares to this one. We also shared the white chocolate cream over a sweet crumble. It was such a pretty and light dessert. The staff made us feel so welcome and right at home from start to finish, an experience not to be missed and we can’t wait to see what else Chef has in the works. P.S. We are headed back tonight for the traditional English Sunday roast with the kids. Stay tuned!! #normandy #france #manche #bassenormandie #normandietourisme #restaurant #dinner #goodeats #edwarddellingwilliams

What a beautiful setting and fabulous menu! The restaurant is part of a farm, La ferme de la Chèvre Rit. We sat outside in the sunshine and shared a demi bottle of clairet and a planche  with some of their homemade chèvre and terrines and meats. Then we had a salad with the most delicious pain d’épices topped with a lightly grilled chèvre and balsamic. We also had the basil risotto which was delicious and had just the perfect amount of cheese. Dessert was a delightfully light but rich chocolate molten cake with sweet cream and caramel and a crème brûlée. We wish we could have stayed for the whole afternoon. We will definitely have to go back again. #lestablesgranville #granville #lunch #normandy #bassenormandie #bassenormandietourisme #salad #risotto #chocolate #cremebrulee #thankyougooglemaps
