Algerian Sauce

Amour de cuisine presents this Algerian sauce as a creamy, spicy accompaniment for sandwiches, burgers, fries and grilled foods. Its selected formula combines mayonnaise, harissa, fresh onion, lemon juice and cumin.

The small onion is peeled and chopped very finely with a knife. The author’s method keeps small pieces of onion in the sauce, giving it a little crunch.

The mayonnaise is placed in a bowl with harissa, ground cumin and a small addition of lemon juice. These are mixed until the sauce has an even color and a creamy texture.

The chopped onion is incorporated, with finely cut parsley selected from the optional herb choices. The same harissa and lemon juice can be adjusted in small amounts after tasting.

The covered sauce rests in the refrigerator before serving. The recipe presents it as a cold sauce, offered with foods such as fries, sandwiches or grilled vegetables.
