Sauce Vierge is a French sauce made from diced tomatoes, olive oil, fresh herbs and lemon juice. It pairs especially well with seafoods, such as the Tuna Steak I shared today.Sauce Vierge was popularised by Michel Guérard, a French chef who championed nouvelle cuisine (literally, "new cuisine") in the 1970's, a food style which emphasised freshness, simplicity, and lightness. Really, this sauce couldn't be a better expression of this style of French cooking!Serve with white meats (chicken, pork), vegetables, use as a salsa-type dip (corn chips, mini crostini), pile onto toasted bread to make bruschetta or crostini, pile over an omelette or frittata, or corn fritters! Great made on the day, even better the next day!
View original recipe on recipetineats.comMix: Mix ingredients in a bowl. Taste and add more salt if you want (depends how salty the food you are putting it on is).
Uses: Use at room temperature as a salsa / sauce, piled onto fish (such as Tuna Steak), other seafood, grilled or steamed vegetables, chicken, pork, over pasta, piled onto bread, or even as a dip for scooping up with crostini or corn chips! You can also warm the sauce if you wish: Gently heat in a small pot and warm to blood temperature. Do not simmer or boil or you'll lose the freshness!
Storage: Use immediately on making, or the next day. Keep in a very airtight container and allow to come to room temperature before serving.
