Tips for making dill sauce yourself
It couldn’t be quicker or easier than making this sauce with dill yourself. Here we have a few tips for preparation.
- Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little more milk or vegetable stock. If it’s too thin, just let it simmer a little longer.
- Taste varies: For an extra touch of flavor, you can also sauté a clove of garlic in the butter before adding the flour. If you replace some of the vegetable broth with dry white wine, the sauce will taste particularly aromatic. You can get extra creaminess with a little cream or crème fraîche and lemon brings a light freshness.
