Barbiel

Frankfurt Green Sauce



8 herbs ingredients:
parsley, one bunch
dill
chives
chervil
cress
pimpinelle
sorrel
borage
Additional (8) ingredients:
4 eggs
4 small potatoes
100 grams of sour cream
100 grams of curd
125 grams of yogurt
juice of one lemon
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Pick and wash herbs and cut them finely. Boil the eggs (hard) and the potatoes. Mix the curd with the yogurt, add salt, pepper and  then lemon juice. Mix with the herbs. Let the eggs cool, then cut them into small pieces and add them to the herb mixture. Serve with the potatoes while they are still warm. Serves 2.
Note from Barbiel:  The green sauce typical of the city of Kassel in Germany is made with a sour cream base, and is nearly white in color. The sauce is served with peeled boiled potatoes, accompanying either hard-boiled eggs or roasted beef brisket. Hard apple cider is a typical accompanying drink. This was supposedly Goethe's favourite meal; a legend that his mother invented it is likely apocryphal.
