This dish is very tasty, but the 1/3 cup of spicy mustard adds a serious kick, especially for people who don't like all that much spice or young kids. My 17 month old daughter likes any food in front of her (which makes her food allergies all that much worse... argh!) including spicy things, but this was too much. I'd suggest reducing the amount to at least half, or substituting regular mustard instead. I love spicy foods, and this was delicious and not a problem for me, but for the rest of my family... not so much...
Thanks for that tip Brian - that's great to know.
