A bit of spice tempered by a touch of sweet, this creamy Sweet Cayenne Mustard Sauce is a bit different and totally awesome. Developed by the Sparrow Tavern in Astoria, New York for their Veggie Burgers, which I also made & put on my blog.

I had no actual recipe to go by, but watched a video on Diners Drive In & Dives (like 10 times) as they made it. I made one teensy change and added a touch  of sour cream just to thicken up the sauce a bit.

If you’re looking to use this sauce with the Sparrow Veggie Burgers, it needs a good bit of spice to balance out all the flavors. A half cup of this Sweet Cayenne Mustard Sauce is a great amount for four Veggie Burgers, double if making eight.

You might well find yourself thinking of all kinds of other things to put this sauce on. I love it on these Grilled Southwestern Lime Chicken Breasts.
