Notes

  • You can use any mustard you like here. We like dijon mustard, but hot English mustard or yellow mustard also work.
  • ⅓ cup of broth will cook the vegetables so they are tender-crisp. If you prefer your vegetables softer then you might need an extra ¼-1/3 cup of broth to ensure they are soft all the way through.
