Treat your ingredients with care...
- Eggs — Make sure to boil the eggs until they are fully cooked but not overcooked to avoid a greenish hue around the yolk.
- Capers — Rinse the capers before chopping them to remove excess saltiness.
- Fresh herbs — Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute with dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- For a creamier texture, you can blend half of the sauce in a food processor before combining it with the remaining chunky mixture.
- Adjust the amount of mustard according to your preference for a milder or spicier flavor.
- Add a tablespoon of finely chopped cornichons for an extra tangy twist.
- Serve Sauce Gribiche as a dip for crispy roasted potatoes or as a spread for sandwiches.
- Make a larger batch and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serving advice
Serve Sauce Gribiche chilled alongside grilled steak, roasted chicken, or poached salmon. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables or as a dressing for a refreshing salad.
Presentation advice
Garnish the Sauce Gribiche with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, to add a pop of color. Serve it in a small bowl or ramekin alongside the main dish for an elegant presentation.
