I love this deliciously easy variation on tartare sauce, made using cooked egg yolk instead of the usual raw egg. Parsley is traditional but you can add other herbs – I take inspiration from Matt Moran who uses chervil in his sauce gribiche; chives and French tarragon work well too, so feel free to experiment. Traditionally served with tete de veau (calves head), sauce gribiche is super versatile and a great way to dress up all sorts of meat, seafood and vegies. Once you’ve seen how easy it is you’ll be serving it with leftover cold roast meat, alongside steamed or grilled asparagus, and splodged over steamed potatoes or roasted carrots. It’s great with beer-battered fish too.

Makes a generous ½ cup (125ml)

Ingredients
  • 1 egg, hard boiled
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon strained lemon juice (20ml)
  • Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (60ml)
  • 1 tablespoon small salted capers, rinsed and dried
  • 3 cornichons, very finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chervil
Method
  1. Halve the egg and separate yolk and white.
  2. Chop the white very finely and set aside.
  3. Mash the yolk, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper together until smooth.
  4. Slowly whisk in the oil to make a smooth emulsion.
  5. Stir in capers, cornichon, parsley, chervil and egg white.
  6. Cover and refrigerate.
  7. Remove sauce gribiche from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
