Adding spicy earthy smoke to mustard tang.
Tangy mustards are one of the many condiments that pair very well with hot peppers. Take, for instance, this smoky chipotle mustard. The delicious mustard tanginess is set against smoky chipotle peppers and earthy adobo sauce. It’s a tasty dipping sauce (try it with chicken fingers), and makes for a unique alternative on deli meat sandwiches and pork dishes.
