This is a tangy, chunky sauce that is quite similar to a warm dressing and goes particularly well with fish.
Ingredients
- 50ml olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 6 coriander seeds crushed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon concasse tomato
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
Method
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and, when it is hot, put in the shallot.
- Fry the shallot for about 1 minute, until it is soft and translucent. It should only just be beginning to turn brown at the edges.
- Turn off the heat and then add the rest of the olive oil, the lemon juice, crushed coriander seeds and the balsamic vinegar. Allow the flavours to infuse for about 20 minutes.
- Finely chop the chives, coriander and tarragon. De-seed the tomato and cut it into cubes about ½cm in size.
- Add the tarragon, chives, coriander and tomato to the rest of the sauce in the sauce pan, mix everything together and season it with salt and pepper.
- Serve.
