Dill sauce
Dill sauce is the perfect addition to many dishes. It goes well with meatballs, fish, roasted meat, pasta and mashed potatoes. To prepare the sauce, you will need cream, vegetable broth, a few spices and, of course, dill. You can go either for fresh or frozen dill, especially when the season of dill is over, frozen ones will be just as perfect.
The following dill sauce recipe is a proven recipe that I always use to make my sauce. I like it when the sauce is neither too thin nor too thick, that is when the consistency of this sauce is just right for me. I usually thicken the sauce with potato flour, because the taste of this flour is imperceptible in the sauce. I have noticed that when I use wheat flour to thicken sauces, I can always taste it in the finished sauce.

Good to know when making dill sauce.
It is good to make dill sauce with vegetable broth. Such a sauce will be more aromatic than the one made with water.
In order to avoid the formation of lumps in the sauce, it is worth mixing the sauce with a hand whisk. You don’t have to do it during the whole time, but at least in the beginning, when you combine the ingredients from the cup with the broth.
