Lemon Sour Cream Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
Hungarian cuisine loves sour cream; Mediterranean cuisine loves lemon. This sauce marries the two: refreshing, light, and the perfect antidote to heavy, fried foods like fish or schnitzel. Made cold, it preserves the probiotics of the sour cream.

Instructions

1 ✓

Zest the lemon (yellow part only!) and juice it. Mince the garlic and dill.

Tip: Oils are in the skin, acid is in the juice. You need both for full flavor.
2 ✓

Whisk the sour cream with the olive oil until smooth.

Tip: Oil enriches the texture and mouthfeel.
3 ✓

Stir in juice, zest, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Tip: Don't worry about curdling; the high fat and cold temp stabilize the mixture.
4 ✓

Fold in the dill and chill for 15 minutes.

Tip: Chilling lets flavors meld.
