    What if you don’t have a blender? Would it taste alright mixed or should I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?

    I want to try this but am out of the mustard powder, can i use a dijon or regular mustard?
    Thanks

    PS I have three starred this recipe but will re-evaluate it after I try the recipe, I am sure I will love it.

    Allowing this to sit in the frig for a couple of days transforms the harshness into a terrific sauce that I wanted on everything.

    How long do you leave it to sit before you eat it? 🙂
    I would let it set for about 30 minutes or so before you eat it. ~Stephanie
