My grandmother's dill sauce | Bakin umak od kopra

Updated: Oct 11, 2025


This is my all time favourite sauce. It reminds me of both my grandmother who made it, and my father who loved eating it, and then my mum who would then make it for our family here in Australia.


The only 'trick' (if there is one) is a good stock, and really you can use any kind of chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, as long as it's flavourful. If you don't have a good stock, then you can use water, but swap the unsalted butter for a salted butter.

Another trick for this beauty is that you can serve it with almost everything. Here I've served it with chicken schnitzel, but it works just as good with a roast, or barbecued chicken, any kind of veal, or beef recipe and even wonderful with fish. Dill really lends itself it everything. And if you want to use more than I have listed, by all means.







Let me know if you tried this herb hero sauce and what you thought?

Dobar Tek! Zivjeli! (Bon Appetit! Cheers and let's live!)
