Chef's notes
This will keep in the fridge for 1 day, but can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Regarding mustard. The Spanish have phrases for French, English and wholegrain mustards, so I assume that when they say just 'mustard' that it refers to their everyday variety, which apparently is a classic American style mustard. They also have a brand called 'Louit' who make various mustards, including a American one which is the bright yellow stuff used for hot dogs. I have never tried American mustard and understand it is fairly mild. Personally I would suggest that UK readers try English mustard if you want something with a little more heat than the American variety. Of course, you can use any mustard you like!
