Honey-mustard caper sauce in a bowl, garnished with capers and fresh parsley.
Piquant creamy sauce studded with salty capers and honey

Creamy honey and mustard sauce with capers

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Sauces and Gravies
This sauce belongs to the family of cold emulsions, where mustard not only flavours but acts as an emulsifier: helping to hold the honey and sour cream together. The salty, floral taste of capers provides perfect contrast to the sweet honey, creating an 'umami bomb' that lifts even the simplest roast chicken.

Instructions

1 ✓

Drain the capers and chop coarsely. Crush or grate the garlic.

Tip: It's worth rinsing the capers if they were in very salty brine.
2 ✓

Mix the sour cream, mustard, honey and lemon juice in a bowl.

Tip: Mustard helps stabilize the mixture so it doesn't separate while standing.
3 ✓

Fold in the capers and garlic, then season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Be careful with salt, as capers are salty themselves! Taste constantly.
4 ✓

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: During chilling, flavours meld (diffusion) and the sauce texture thickens slightly.
