O Que Você Precisa Saber

Chef Tips

- Use a wire whisk (fouet) or make the sauce by shaking energetically inside a closed glass jar. - Add the olive oil little by little in a thin stream so that the mustard can encapsulate the droplets of fat. - Keep all ingredients at room temperature before beating to facilitate the formation of the emulsion.

Variations

- Creamy French sauce: add two tablespoons of whole natural yogurt at the end of the emulsion. - Version with roasted garlic: mash a roasted garlic clove and incorporate it along with the mustard at the beginning of preparation. - Toque cítrico: add a teaspoon of fine lemon zest along with the fine herbs.

Substitutions

- O vinagre balsâmico pode ser substituído por vinagre de vinho tinto ou suco de limão-siciliano fresco. - O mel pode ser trocado por xarope de bordo (maple), melado de cana ou açúcar mascavo dissolvido. - A mostarda Dijon tradicional pode ser substituída por mostarda em grãos (l’ancienne) para textura rústica.

How to Store

Store the sauce in a tightly closed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. As olive oil can solidify in the cold, remove the container about 10 minutes before consumption and shake before drizzling over the dishes.

Can You Freeze It?

Não é recomendado congelar este molho de salada. As baixas temperaturas quebram a emulsão entre azeite e vinagre, resultando na separação completa das fases líquida e oleosa após o processo de descongelamento.

What to Serve With

Pairs well with bitter leaf salads like arugula and radicchio, steamed vegetables, or beef carpaccio. It also works well as a quick marinade for grilled chicken fillets or white fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to do if the sauce breaks and the olive oil separates?

Add a teaspoon of warm water or another half tablespoon of mustard in a clean bowl and pour the separated mixture little by little while whisking with a whisk.

Posso usar azeite comum no lugar do azeite de oliva extravirgem?

Pode usar azeite virgem ou óleo de canola, porém o azeite extravirgem confere o aroma característico e o corpo denso da emulsão clássica.

What is the difference between Dijon mustard and common yellow mustard?

Dijon mustard is made with dark mustard seeds and white wine, having a spicier, saltier flavor and a homogeneous texture ideal for emulsifying.

Should the fine herbs be fresh or dried?

Both work; the dried ones need 15 minutes of resting in liquid to hydrate, while fresh chopped ones should be consumed within fewer days.
