Staying loyal to the green color, I made „Frankfurter Grüne Soße” for today´s lunch. It is a traditional dish in Frankfurt well known as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's favorite dish. However, there is little evidence that this rumor is really true. But no matter, if the writer liked it or not, it tastes really great and is very healthy due to the high amount of herbs used for the sauce. In Frankfurt, you can buy a readymade bundle of herbs, but you can also buy them separately and make your own mixture.
Usually, it consist of 7 herbs:
1) Parsley
2) Cress
3) Chives
4) Starflower (borage)
5) Chervil
6) Pimpinella (garden burnet) and
7) Sorrel
I also like to add some wild garlic and few leafs of mint to create a unique taste. Once you have all the herbs together it´s super easy to make and won´t take longer than 5 min. It tastes great with roasted or cooked potatoes, as a dressing for a salad or as a sauce for roasted vegetables.
