For 4 serving

Ingredients

1 larger bunch of fresh dill (approx. 40–50 g)
1 tablespoon plain flour
500 ml stock (vegetable or beef)
200 ml sour cream
1–2 tablespoons wine vinegar (to taste)
salt to taste

Preparation procedure

Thoroughly wash, dry and finely chop the fresh dill. The finer it is chopped, the smoother the sauce will be.
In a pot, gently heat a small amount of the stock, add the chopped dill and briefly sweat it lightly so its flavor develops. Sprinkle in the plain flour, stir and briefly toast it to form a light roux.
Gradually pour in the remaining stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Salt and simmer over low heat for about 10–15 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens and the dill softens.
Finally add the wine vinegar to taste. You can stir the sour cream directly into the pot (recommended) or add it to the finished sauce just before serving. Do not boil the sauce vigorously afterwards so the cream does not curdle.

Recipe conclusion

This dill sauce is an ideal choice if you enjoy honest Czech flavors without unnecessary complexity. It is quick to prepare, beautifully creamy and pleasantly fresh thanks to the fresh dill. It tastes great fresh, but also on the second day when the flavors meld even more. You can easily adjust the recipe to your own taste – less acidic, or more pronounced.
