Preparation – 10 minutes

Boil an egg for about 6-7 minutes, make sure it is not overcooked for best results.

Squeeze the juice from a lemon and wash the fresh parsley and tarragon if necessary.

Finish the sauce gribiche – 10 minutes

Chop the parsley and tarragon as finely as possible. Finely chop the capers and gherkins.

Mash the egg yolk with a fork and use a small whisk to mix it with a teaspoon of mustard. Add the oil drop by drop and keep mixing until a sauce is formed.

If you add the oil too quickly, the sauce will not mix as well. Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, tarragon, gherkins and capers.

Finely chop the egg white and stir it in as well. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Enjoy your dinner!
