Re: focusing on lunch/cauli and seed mustard soup

Is the mustard in this the type you put on sandwiches, which has visible seeds in it, or the dried mustard seed that you get in the spice section of the store?

: about things

: One thing I have to make an effort

: CAULIFLOWER AND SEED MUSTARD SOUP

: 25g/ 1 oz butter ( I used a slosh of
: olive oil)
: olive oil
: 2 onions peeled and chopped
: 400g/1lb 5 oz cauli ( I just threw in
: the bag)
: 800ml/1 1/2 pint chicken stock ( I
: used 2 Knorr cubes and filled the
: saucepan as far as was comfy)
: 3 strips lemon zest ( used a potato
: peeler - well got to use the
: peeler for something :h6) )
: sea salt
: 2 heaped tsps grain mustard

: heat butter with olive oil and brown
: the onions for 4 mins till glossy
: in large saucepan

: add cauli and fry a couple of mins,
: stirring.

: add stock, lemon zest pinch salt,
