• Remove from heat. Add the mustard and onions and mash to desired consistency. Taste and add more mustard if necessary.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
• Note: To caramelize onions, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a heavy-based skillet. Add 1 thinly sliced medium yellow onion. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes until onion starts to soften. Lower heat and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of granulated sugar. Cook 20 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring frequently. Lower heat if necessary to keep onions from burning.
