RUSSIAN SAUCE

RUSSIAN SAUCE

Is made from mayonnaise mixed with caviar and possibly the creamy parts of lobster or crayfish.

All these dishes (Russian salad, Russian sauce) are inspired by the classic cuisine as practised at the time of the TSARS, particularly by French chefs, and are not REALLY representative of true Russian cookery. However, some recipes described as à la russe are based on Slav traditions, including those featuring cucumbers and gherkins, bitoke, herrings, stuffed peppers, fillet of beef, kacha, piroshki, etc.
