Emma Bengtsson’s Hovmastar Sauce

Emma Bengtsson’s Hovmastar Sauce

Hovmastar sauce is a bright and acidic condiment that elevates the natural flavors of fish, especially smoked. The sauce comes together in minutes and keeps well in the refrigerator, so it’s a great addition to any appetizer—or smörgåsbord table!

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 Tbsp. chopped dill
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. Löfbergs coffee, cold
  • 1½ Tbsp. Liss Ellas sweet and hot mustard
  • 1¼ cups canola oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper, preferably white
  • Mörjö Deli flatbread crisps, for serving
  • 12 oz. gravlax (or smoked) salmon, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. In a food processor, combine the dill and sugar. Blitz until well combined and fragrant. Add the lemon juice, honey, coffee, and mustard and pulse in 15 second increments until well combined. With the food processor still running, add the oil in a very slow stream until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

2. Serve the sauce with flatbread crisps and gravlax.
