During Easter, Germans gather around the table to start the day with a fresh and flavorful dish: Grüne Sosse, a green sauce made with yogurt and fresh herbs. This accompaniment, known as green sauce, is traditionally served with hard-boiled eggs, a symbol of Lent, and paired with the vibrant colors of spring.
Ingredients
- 8 small potatoes
- 4 organic hard-boiled eggs
- A small bunch of parsley
- A small bunch of watercress
- A small bunch of chives
- A small bunch of chervil
- A small bunch of sorrel
- A small bunch of borage
- A small bunch of salad burnet
- 2 small fresh spring onions
- 150 g of quark or fresh whipped cheese
- 150 g of yogurt
- 150 g of sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a blender, mix all the fresh herbs, mustard, spring onions, lemon juice, yogurt, quark, sour cream, salt, and pepper. If you’re missing any herbs, you can substitute with sage, basil, or dill, but be sure to taste the sauce to ensure no single herb dominates.
- Cook the Eggs: Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, let them cool, peel them, and cut them into halves or quarters.
- Cook the Potatoes: Steam or boil the potatoes and peel them.
- Serve: Spread the sauce on a plate to cover the base, and add one egg and two potatoes per person.
