Sauce gribiche is a classic French cold sauce made with hard-boiled eggs, capers, cornichons, and fresh herbs, bound together with a mustard vinaigrette. It is typically served with boiled or poached fish, but it can also be used as a dressing for salads or vegetables.

This article provides three variations of sauce gribiche:

1. The first recipe is for a classic sauce gribiche, made with all of the traditional ingredients.

2. The second recipe is for a simplified sauce gribiche, which omits the capers and cornichons.

3. The third recipe is for a vegan sauce gribiche, which uses silken tofu instead of eggs.

All three recipes are easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. They are also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH SAUCE GRIBICHE

You might not be familiar with the French sauce gribiche, but it's very tasty and you can make an easy version at home. I think of it as a mix of egg salad and tartar sauce, which makes it perfect for fish in my opinion. Chefs also use gribiche on meats that need zing or to balance out the gaminess of dishes like beef tongue. Most people love salmon, but I really think halibut is the versatile vanilla ice cream of fish. Its mild flavor and meatiness are great for both fish lovers and folks who are undecided.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) white wine vinegar
3 ounces (90 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 5 cornichons, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) capers
3 hard-boiled eggs (see Cook's Note), peeled and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) chopped parsley
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce (170-gram) skinless halibut fillets, each about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste

Steps:

  • For the sauce gribiche: Add mustard, vinegar and olive oil in a mini prep food processor. Pulse about 3 to 5 times until emulsified. Add the cornichons, capers and eggs, pulse two more times until the mixture is combined but still chunky and uneven. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
  • For the halibut: When ready to grill, preheat one side of the grill to high and leave one side cool, creating indirect heat. Season each fillet with salt, pepper and paprika. Drizzle olive oil on top.
  • Place the fillets over the cool side of the grill, close the lid and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. For more color, you can finish the fish on the hot side for about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce gribiche on each fillet, or more if you wish.

SAUCE GRIBICHE



Sauce Gribiche image

This recipe is adapted from "The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food," the memoir of Judith Jones, the book editor who among many other things first brought Julia Child into print. It comes together in about five minutes and improves cold meats, cold cuts, blanched asparagus, boiled potatoes - almost anything you can think of. Take note: the egg needs to be really finely chopped to achieve the sauce's optimal texture.

SAUCE GRIBICHE



Sauce Gribiche image

Sauce gribiche has a category problem - is it a vinaigrette, a mayonnaise, a condiment, a sauce? - but that liability turns out to be its strongest asset; it can be used as you would any and all of those ways. It's just delicious, and it makes whatever it lands on even more so. While traditionally (and perfectly) paired with cold boiled meats like beef tongue, it also makes an excellent partner to cold poached salmon, warm braised leeks, steamed asparagus, sliced french ham and watercress, and even halved hard-boiled eggs, like a more piquant version of the classic oefs dur mayonnaise found in French bistros.
