Sauce Robert

Robert is a French sauce based on white wine, vinegar, and mustard. It is an ideal accompaniment to grilled meat dishes, especially pork chops. According to the first edition of Larousse Gastronomique, the sauce was invented at the beginning of the 17th century by a man named Robert Vinot, a celebrated sauce maker. Today, sauce Robert is an important component of French cuisine, its ingredients remaining unchanged for at least 400 years. Today, it is often drizzled over beef and pork, as well as potatoes that are usually served on the side.
