A traditional cold herb sauce from Frankfurt, made with 7 fresh herbs. Delicious with boiled potatoes, eggs or schnitzel.

Frankfurt Green Sauce (Frankfurter Grüne Soße)

g creme fraiche (if not available, use sour cream)

g full fat yogurt (3.4% fat)

onion

tsp mustard

olive oil

salt and pepper (to taste

Wash the herbs. If necessary, remove the leaves from the stems and roughly chop them. Place in a deep bowl. 

Add the yoghurt and crème Fraiche or sour cream to the herbs. With a hand blender, puree the herbs. Alternatively, you can chop the herbs very finely and then mix them in with the yoghurt-crème Fraiche mixture. 

Peel the onion and cube very finely. 

Add the onion cubes, olive oil, mustard and lemon juice to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. 

Allow the mixture to rest for an hour (ideally overnight) in the fridge  or a cool place before serving.

Thanks Marita, I just made it again and added a tablespoon of honey to the mix - a hint by a fellow Hessian. I can recommend!

Adding a few Tablespoons to a cheap Tuna Pizza (after baking) is heavenly (although many might not think so). Just try it first.

Made your recipe last weekend and it was delicious! I got a bundle of 200g green sauce herbs at the local farmers market in Hamburg. So I increased a bit on the yoghurt and creme fraiche and added another teaspoon of mustard, which worked out perfectly! Thanks for sharing this recipe. The taste bringes me right back home to Hessen :)

As a German person, living in Florida, I bought seeds for Thesauren in Germany each year, and since we can put seeds out in Februar, my sauce is always ready. It is one of my favorites, but I am vegan or plant based eater and changed to vegan. Not even a meat eater knows the difference. Thanks these are my little nice memories
