Recipe Introduction

This is a great naturally milk and gluten free sauce. Just be sure to check your chicken stock if you are not using homemade. I used Imagine's chicken-like stock (vegetarian) and it was great. My apologies to those who cannot have eggs - but no, you cannot sub anything for the egg yolks (that I know of). BL Note: Greeks adore this sauce and it can be put to good use in soups, in fish and lamb dishes and with salads.

List of Ingredients

6 egg yolks
juice of 2 lemons
1 cup chicken or beef stock
salt and pepper to taste



Recipe

Beat together the egg yolks and lemon juice and add these to the stock. Over a low flame, stirring constantly, cook until the sauce has thickened. Correct the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve hot. (Yields about 1 cup).
