Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried tarragon
  • 1 cup plain fresh yogurt, recipe follows

Directions

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Stir 2 tablespoons cornstarch into 2 tablespoons chicken stock to make a slurry. Add the remaining chicken stock to the onion/garlic mixture and bring to simmer. Add the slurry and bring to boil. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat. Add the salt, pepper, tarragon, and yogurt and heat until warmed through, but do not boil, about 1 minute.

Fresh Yogurt:

  • 1 quart 2-percent milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt, room temperature

Pour milk into small saucepan and whisk in powdered milk and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to 120 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Once milk has reached 120 degrees F, pour into a cylindrical plastic container, reserving 1/2 cup. Whisk in the reserved 1/2 cup into the yogurt and add back to the milk mixture.

Place container into a narrow wine bucket, lined with a heating pad. Set the heating pad to medium. Let the mixture ferment for 3 to 12 hours making sure the temperature stays as close to 115 degrees F as possible.

    I love this sauce, and make it whenever I serve fish. It is also good if you replace half or all of the tarragon with dill.

    It tasted tooooo much like tarragon to me, i think maybe if it's done with less tarragon it would be better.

    I thought it would be very good and healthy, but it had a very distinct yogurt flavor. I thought that maybe cooking it a while longer would help it go away, but it still tasted like it was yogurt with tarragon mixed in. It may have been because I used store-bought lowfat plain yogurt, but on the episode, Alton said you could.
