Traditional Hunter Sauce
-
(Jägersoße)
Traditional German Hunter sauce / Jägersoße can be described as a rich and creamy gravy with mushrooms, fragrant ingredients and herbs. As I love both ie: good sauces and mushrooms this
sauce has to be regarded as one of my absolutely favorite dishes and I make it in many variations on a regular basis. It is usually served with Schnitzel but can as well be found and enjoyed in many restaurants and fast food outlets as an accompaniment for french fries, meatballs, hamburgers and sausages. This Hunter sauce recipe of this classic from my country of birth is a really good one and has been highly regarded by many who tasted it.
