A-Z of Sauces

U - Unagi Sauce. This is traditionally used to coat eels! But it's often used for coating spare ribs or similar. Authentic Unagi is made with Soy Sauce, Mirin (sweet rice wine), Sake and sugar. I just melt a little sugar in a Pale Cream Sherry and whisk with dark Soy Sauce. Well, in truth I don't bother these days and instead get those sachets of Chinese marinades from Aldi - I especially like the Oyster & Spring Onion one.

V Vinaigrette - salad dressing. Oil/vinegar mixture, often with added lemon juice and herbs. I have had it, but never tried making my own.

I either put salad cream on salads or Aldi's Balsamic Vinaigrette which is very good.

I don't know the difference between Ketchup and Sauce - always used to be sauce.

I used to put it on cheese on toast too but these days I prefer to use Tabasco sauce.

X - Xato. Widely used in Catalonia. Made from olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, almonds and hazel nuts whizzed to a smooth paste. Never tried it but sounds yummy.

Not heard of that but it sounds nice.

Y Yogurt Sauce - was offered it in Turkey on sweet and savoury dishes - it's basically just yogurt!

Also I've heard Henderson's Relish being called Yorkshire Relish.

As the man says in the advert, where would rabbit pie be without Yorkshire Relish?

Z - Zigeuner Sauce. A Gypsy sauce from Belgium made with tomato paste, paprika, bell peppers and onions and often served with sausage. Mmmmm!

Well, I enjoyed that and found it useful to. A few things I hadn't come across before and I will definitely try out that Yorkshire Relish!

Well, there you go! My daughter lives in Stoke and their local Sainsbury's has just started selling Hendersons.
