A sauce made from sour cream and mayonnaise with garlic and herbs will enhance and complement a fish or vegetable dish, giving it a certain sourness, pungency and spiciness.

There are many recipes for sour cream sauce; today I will offer you my own version of this sauce, which I came up with over several years of experimentation. Now I no longer experiment with this sauce, but cook according to the proportions once “approved by me.”

My additions to the traditional sauce are a little mayonnaise and creamy horseradish. They give the sauce a smooth structure and a certain spicy note.

Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list and quickly prepare the sauce.

It is better to take sour cream that is not very fatty, but not sour, and has a thick consistency. Place the sour cream in a bowl and add mayonnaise to it. The fat content of mayonnaise is according to your preferences. I have salad mayonnaise.

We take creamy horseradish, not very spicy. Add it to the bowl as well.

Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.

We pass the garlic through a press and add it to the rest of the sauce ingredients.

Chop the dill, parsley and green onions as finely as possible and place in the sauce. Mix the sauce well and leave in the refrigerator for half an hour. The sauce needs to sit a little.

Place the prepared sauce of sour cream and mayonnaise with garlic and herbs in a gravy boat or bowl and serve.

A simple, affordable and tasty sauce that your household will love. I often serve this sauce with pancakes and pancakes; it goes very well with boiled, fried or steamed vegetables.

Best done with a blender. This will allow you to mix the ingredients well and get the most homogeneous mass. In order to prepare a delicious sauce from sour cream with herbs and garlic, you will need:

  • 150 grams of fat sour cream (at least 20 percent);
  • 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and lemon juice;
  • 5 cloves of garlic;
  • 12 grams of sugar;
  • 4 tablespoons of chopped herbs and a little salt.

The sauce is made from sour cream with herbs and garlic as follows:

  1. The garlic must be squeezed through a press.
  2. In a blender bowl, collect all the prepared ingredients and mix them thoroughly.
  3. Let the resulting mass stand for a while so that the sugar crystals can completely dissolve in it.
  4. After this, whipping must be repeated.

The prepared sauce of sour cream with herbs and garlic should first be placed in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This will allow it, firstly, to thicken a little. And secondly, the essential oils from garlic can completely transform into sour cream. This will make the sauce richer in flavor.

Fish supplement

There is another interesting sauce. Sour cream, cucumber, garlic, herbs are its main ingredients. This product will be an excellent addition to fried or oven-baked fish. To prepare it you will need the following ratio of initial components:

  • 200 grams of sour cream;
  • 2 cloves of garlic;
  • 20 grams of green dill;
  • 2 pickled or pickled cucumbers;
  • and also some ground black pepper.

The technology for preparing the sauce is simple:

  1. Transfer the measured amount of sour cream into a clean bowl.
  2. Add grated cucumber to it.
  3. Add finely chopped garlic. If desired, you can use a special press.
  4. Chop the dill thoroughly with a knife and add to the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle everything with pepper and mix well.

For those who cannot stand the smell of garlic, we can recommend using spring onions instead. This is a completely worthy replacement. The flavor of the sauce will become a little softer and there will be a nice additional hint of freshness.

Popular option

Very often, housewives use the following sauce to season many dishes: sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, herbs. This composition is quite popular, as it is suitable for almost any meat (boiled, fried, stewed or baked). In addition, it can be used to improve the taste of many vegetable side dishes. To prepare this sauce you need the following set of products:

  • 150 grams of mayonnaise and sour cream;

  • 2 cloves of garlic;

The preparation option in this case is very similar to the previous methods:

  1. First you need to finely chop the garlic.
  2. Then carefully chop the greens.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly using a regular tablespoon.

The mass turns out to be very aromatic with a pleasant rich taste, the basis of which is cilantro and garlic. Fans of exotic flavors can add oregano or basil instead of dill. This will make it taste more spicy.

We have a special guest for lunch today! Sour cream sauce with the addition of tomato puree, aromatic herbs and garlic. This gorgeous side dish has been served in our family since the 80s. Grandfather Grisha's favorite sauce was enjoyed by family and friends. Grandpa loved it with potatoes. I watered both mashed potatoes and simply stewed potatoes generously. Grandfather did not eat meat and therefore ignored all our recommendations regarding spicy sour cream sauce, intended specifically for meat food, with great success. Grandfather left, and his famous sour cream sauce with garlic and herbs took root on our table.

So, ingredients for sour cream sauce with garlic and herbs. You will need: liquid sour cream, tomato paste diluted with boiled water, a lot of aromatic herbs and garlic. Salt - to taste.

The greens go into a bowl with the future sauce and the garlic is passed through a fine grater.
