Creamy Lemon and Herb Sauce

ByMartha Holmberg Fine Cooking Issue 126
Scott Phillips

Yield:Yields about 1-1/3 cups

Servings:8

Pulverizing the herbs makes their flavor stronger, a good thing for a cold sauce where flavors can be muted. This lemony sauce is wonderful paired withSear-Roasted Beef Tenderloin, and it’s delicious paired with roast chicken, pork, or lamb, too.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1/2 oz.) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup (1/2 oz.) coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 3 whole scallions, sliced
  • 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice; more as needed
  • 8 oz. (1 cup) sour cream or crème fraÎche

Preparation

  • Pulse the cilantro, dill, scallions, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. of pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, pour the olive oil and lemon juice through the feed tube and pulse until the mixture has a pesto-like consistency. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the sour cream. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Season to taste with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

Make Ahead Tips

The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
