Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of sweetened mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Salt and coarsely ground white pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • plenty of chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Mix the mustard, egg yolk, vinegar, sugar salt and pepper. The egg yolk is not necessary, but will make the sauce smoother and softer.
  2. Whisk constantly and add slowly the oil. Continue until the sauce is creamy.
  3. Add the chopped dill.
  4. This is the standard sauce served together with gravlax, salt and sugar-cured salmon. It is also very good together with mussels, crayfish or shrimp.
