Sweet Mustard & Dill Sauce

This classic Scandinavian sauce is called hovmästarsås in Swedish. Sweet mustard and dill sauce is traditionally served with gravlax and smoked salmon, and is great with any seafood, as a salad dressing or even a dipping sauce for fried chicken. It has a lovely balance of sweet and sour and a great fragrance from the dill. Sweet mustard and dill sauce is super easy to make; the mustard helps stabilise the oil and vinegar emulsification so that it stays quite smooth. It’s best to add the dill just before serving, but leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to a week even after the dill has been added. This recipe makes enough sweet mustard and dill sauce to serve with one side of smoked salmon or gravlax.

Makes about 150ml (⅔ cup)

Ingredients
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (60ml)
  • 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard (30ml)
  • 1½ tablespoons honey (30ml)
  • 1½ tablespoons white wine vinegar (30ml)
  • 1½ tablespoons finely chopped dill (6 teaspoons)
Method
  1. Place mustard, honey, vinegar and oil in a bowl and whisk together to form an emulsion.
  2. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  3. Just before serving, stir in dill.

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.

I find your weekly check-in to my kitchen an inspiration with chatty, warm, inspiring dishes to experience. Recently I was looking for a recipe for Persian spice blend advieh and yours was the first to catch my attention, even before I knew it was written by you. What a fun surprise to see your happy, calming face with a new friend sharing the benefits of Persian cooking.

Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's online cooking classes – the family are reaping the benefits now.

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.
