Chive Sauce Recipe

You can find my chive sauce recipe in this post.

The herbal cream is based on milk products, lemon and spices.

I avoid mayonnaise in this preparation, so the result is a light and pleasant cold sauce.

The same tip for veggies: just use soy products, they taste different, but still delicious.

I wish you the best of luck and I look forward to comments and cooking questions.

3. Shelf Life Of Chive Sauce

The chopped chives can be kept in the sauce for 1-2 days.

Be sure to follow the order of preparation:

–> Season the lemon juice with salt, pepper and sugar and stir.

–> Place the freshly cut chives directly in the lemon juice and marinate well.

The sugar and acid prevent the chives from fermenting.

You can store the mixed sauce in the fridge for a good 2 days.

Freshly prepared, the chive sauce tastes particularly delicious.
I rarely save the sauce, but it’s still an option.

5. Refine the Chive Sauce To the Herb Sauce

You can combine the simple basic sauce with sour cream and crème fraîche with other herbs.

For example, use finely chopped chervil, parsley, lovage, tarragon or sorrel depending on the season.

For cold sauces based on mayonnaise you will find an extra post.

There is also an article for fondue sauces that you can prepare quickly.
