Orange mayonnaise with shallots

1 serving

15 minutes

Orange mayonnaise with shallots is an exquisite French addition to dishes that harmoniously combines the freshness of citrus and the delicate sweetness of shallots. The recipe's origins trace back to France's culinary traditions, where fruit sauces add a special charm to meat, fish, and vegetables. This sauce is characterized by its rich aroma, where the brightness of orange is softened by the creamy texture of mayonnaise, and a hint of lemon juice highlights the depth of flavor. It is perfect as a salad dressing, a refined dip for seafood, or a sophisticated complement to roasted meat. To fully develop the flavor, it is important to let the sauce rest in the refrigerator, allowing the ingredients to unite in harmonious balance.
