Mint Dill   ~ Sauces & Dressings ~   Bayleaves Rosemary

Introduction

Sauces and dressings can make all the difference in enhancing the look and taste of a recipe. Why use them ? A very good reason is to enrich your dish. The number one reason is you get to name your dish by their name and the variations are unlimited. For example, a plain boiled zucchini dish served with creamy cheese sauce can be named "Camouflaged Zucchini". Very posh, don't you think ?! Besides you will get your kid to eat his vegetables easily. You are only limited by your imagination and your word power.

What goes into them ? Fat is important. You can choose from butter, Ghee, oil or stock. A thickening ingredient like flour, starch, corn flour, eggs, cream, and vegetable purées will help you manipulate their consistency. Liquids ? A must. The variety goes from milk, broth, fruit juices to just plain heavenly water. Herbs and condiments will give them a very appetizing aroma. Take your pick from salt, pepper, paprika, girofle, cinammon, bayleaves, dill...anything goes. And of course, don't forget essence and natural extracts like wine, rosewater, vanilla, chocolate, coconut. Ready made sauces, like mustard, ketchup, anchovy paste are welcome too.

Now, how can you tell your sauce is a successful one ? Follow these points:-
1. Sauce color and taste should be very close to those of main ingredient.
2. Sauce thickness should serve its purpose.
3. Sauce should be lumpfree, with no burnt taste, thoroughly binding, and completely homogeneous.

Savory or sweet, use them freely. Believe us, they make a difference.

Now, let's get saucy !

PS: A lot of featured sauces are excellent for vegetarians (those who accept milk, dairy products and eggs). Vegetalians (those who refuse any ingredient from the animal kingdom) can omit what they want. Vegetarian recipes will be marked by a "V".
