Holy Cow, this stuff is GOOD!!! So simple and quick to make - we spread it on toasted croutes. -
Lindsey, this was a GREAT sauce!! As the stars say, we loved it!! We had it on thick slices of underdone beef tenderloin. A suggestion: lightly roasted walnuts might bring out their taste (a guess, as I did not do it). I don't think, however, that the recipe will stretch to 6 unless each person only eats one slice with a spoon of sauce -- it depends on appetites! We had a small spoon of the sauce on each slice of meat! Next time I would add perhaps a dash of hot sauce or ground black pepper, as the sauce, delicious though it is, could be more assertive with red meat. I had the feeling that, although it sounds like a "strong" taste, it might actually go well with oily fish. Thanks for a quick and easy recipe!!! ONE DAY LATER: Lindsey, I upped the stars from 4 to 5!! A tip: change this recipe to read: "Make a day ahead, cover and keep in fridge." There was some of this dressing left over, with which I did exactly that. I've just put in a finger and tasted it again ... and it is superb!! Suddenly the flavours I expected to be present last night is there now!!! It seems that, as in so many cases, this recipe needs time for the flavours to meld. ☺

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful.
