Hi foodies! Kari here, coming at you with a simple sauce recipe that can be used on fish, veggies, grains, salad, pork, you name it. Sorrel is an herb that is only available for a short time during the year in the Pacific Northwest, so get it while you can. It is most often used for its lemony flavor, and if you haven’t tried it, you will be amazed at just how lemony it is! I know I was the first time I tried it. Go ahead, give it a try and let us know what you think!
