The crumb is delicious and crunchy and the meat inside is juicy and perfectly cooked. Our version of this sauce is pretty close to the one we tried, common on almost all traditional German menus. It is a mixture of plenty of fresh green herbs mixed with something creamy. It will also taste great with barbecued lamb or any dish that could do with a fresh pick-me-up.
