Cominee



Recipe by Daniel Myers

This is a sauce usually served with chicken, though several variants can be found for goose or fish - though the versions for fish are usually thickened with almond milk instead of eggs, making them suitable for meatless days.


Ingredients

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cumin



Method

Whisk ingredients together and cook over a low heat until it's just ready to boil. Serve hot.
