Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Dijon mustard — Use a good quality Dijon mustard for the best flavor.
  • White wine — Opt for a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay to balance the sweetness of the onions.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a smoother sauce, blend the caramelized onions before adding the other ingredients.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a longer time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard according to your taste preference for a more or less tangy flavor.
  • Serve the Sauce Robert alongside grilled steak, roasted chicken, or roasted vegetables for a delicious meal.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
