Easy Avgolemono Sauce image

I'm Hispanic, my husband is a first generation Greek-American. Suffice to say that he's a Greek Food Purist...!!! He never thought I'd be able to produce anything that would be considered authentic. This easy version of Avgolemono Sauce, I'm happy to say, passes muster. This can be served on so many things, but our favorite is over Dolmades and over stuffed peppers. Nothing scary here, it's easy so long as you temper the eggs carefully and never let the sauce come to a boil.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup chicken broth (preferably homemade)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the lemon juice and whisk until frothy.
  • While continuing to whisk, pour half the boiling broth into the eggs in a small stream, whisking vigorously and continually so that the eggs don't cook.
  • Return the broth to the flame and pour the tempered eggs into the remaining broth, whisking the whole time. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, but NEVER LET THE SAUCE BOIL. This will take about five minutes.
  • Serve immediately. This sauce doesn't reheat well.

This sauce was a bit too runny for my taste, but I think I just needed to cook it for a bit longer. Next time I'll be sure to let it simmer for a few extra minutes.

This sauce was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out too thick. I think I might have overcooked it a bit.

This sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think I just added too much lemon juice. Next time I'll be sure to add less.
