Creamy Honey Mustard Sauce with Capers

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes
This sauce belongs to the cold emulsion family, where mustard not only flavors but acts as an emulsifier holding honey and sour cream together. The salty, floral taste of capers provides perfect contrast to the sweet honey, creating an 'umami-bomb' that livens up even the simplest roast chicken.

Instructions

1 ✓

Drain capers and chop roughly. Crush or grate garlic.

Tip: Rinse capers if they came in very salty brine.
2 ✓

Mix sour cream, mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a bowl.

Tip: Mustard helps stabilize the mixture so it won't separate.
3 ✓

Fold in capers and garlic, then season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Be careful with salt as capers are already salty! Taste as you go.
4 ✓

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: Cooling allows flavors to meld (diffusion) and thickens the texture.
