Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To prepare the sauce, you will need: sour cream of any percentage of fat content, salt, hot ground pepper, hot Russian mustard, any dried herbs and lemon juice. The fat content of sour cream will depend on the density, taste and calorie content of the sauce.
Step 2:
In a small bowl, add the spicy Russian mustard to the sour cream. With the amount of mustard that I use, you'll get a pretty hot sauce! Adjust the amount of mustard to your liking. Or just replace it with French sweet mustard. You can also use granular mustard. But the taste of the sauce in these cases will change dramatically.
Step 3:
Add your favorite dried herbs. I have oregano, basil and thyme. You can also use fresh herbs: dill, parsley or even cilantro, if you have nothing against it.
Step 4:
Squeeze a teaspoon of lemon juice into the sauce. To make sure that lemon seeds do not get into the sauce, squeeze the juice through a strainer with small holes. Lemon can be replaced with lime.
Step 5:
Add salt and pepper to the sauce to taste, if you need it. Be careful, because mustard is already salty, so there is a risk of over-salting the sauce. If suddenly this happens, just add more sour cream :) I did not pepper at all, because, I repeat, the sauce will be very spicy anyway because of the significant amount of mustard.
Step 6:
It remains only to thoroughly mix all the ingredients of the sauce, and you can serve it to the table!
It is convenient to mix the sauce with a fork. And you need to do this carefully, otherwise the lemon juice will detach from the rest of the ingredients and settle on the surface of the sauce.
The sauce tastes sharp and creamy, with a clear sourness.
If you are not sure exactly how much you need to add this or that ingredient, then I advise you to first add it a little bit, then mix and try what happened. That's exactly what chefs do. This is called "bring to taste".
Bon appetit!
