Walnut Sauce from Victor’s Grandmother
Probably the best known walnut is the one used for Chiles en nogada and I must confess that I had never had one made with mustard. I assume that this sauce is used as a salad dressing.
Ingredients
- 3½ ounces walnuts
- ½ cup milk
- 6 ancho chiles tops and seeds removed, and heated on a griddle to soften
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Purée the walnuts, milk, ancho chiles, and garlic.
- Slowly and in a continuous stream, beat in the olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
