I think there may be a problem with this recipe. I tried it as written (with 1-1/2 Tablespoons of ground mustard) and it was so bitter I could hardly stand to taste it! I tried again with 1-1/2 teaspoons of ground mustard instead. It still has a slightly bitter flavor but it actually complimented the asparagus quite nicely. Together it was tasty but I took a couple of stars off for confusion.
