SAUCE GRIBICHE

Sauce Gribiche image

This recipe is adapted from "The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food," the memoir of Judith Jones, the book editor who among many other things first brought Julia Child into print. It comes together in about five minutes and improves cold meats, cold cuts, blanched asparagus, boiled potatoes - almost anything you can think of. Take note: the egg needs to be really finely chopped to achieve the sauce's optimal texture.
