Choosing a sauce can completely change the direction of your Market Plate or bowl. You might want something creamy, fresh, smoky or gently spicy. The choice is yours.
Our sauces are there to add another layer to the food, bringing contrast or richness without distracting from everything else on the plate. Here is what makes each one different and which dishes to try it with.
At Hg, one kitchen rule appears across the menu: In Olive Oil We Trust.
We make our sauces in house with olive oil and ingredients selected for flavour and texture. You will find it in everything from creamy mayos to bright, nutty dressings, helping each sauce sit naturally alongside the seasonal food on the plate.
It is the same approach we take whether you join us for a healthy breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner: real ingredients, prepared from scratch and rooted in Mediterranean food.
Rich and comforting, Truffle Mayo is the sauce people reach for when they fancy something a little more indulgent.
Chef Ben’s favourite pairing is our Charcoal-grilled lemon-mustard chicken. It is equally good with Charcoal Grilled Flat Iron Steak, seasonal vegetables or warm sourdough bread for dipping.
Berries, red chilli and a touch of acidity give this sauce its balance. The sweetness comes through first, followed by a gentle warmth rather than an intense kick.
Fermented Chilli Jam works particularly well wherever a dish needs contrast. Try it with Charcoal Grilled Flat Iron Steak, Latin Lover or Sweet Potato Cakes.
Tahini is creamy and nutty, with lemon and garlic bringing freshness to every spoonful. It adds depth without making a dish feel too heavy, which is why it works across so much of the menu.
Add it to bowls, Market Plates, seasonal vegetables or any of our vegetarian dishes when you want an easy, versatile pairing.
This is heat with a smoky side. Chipotle Mayo blends our olive oil mayonnaise with marinated chipotle, creating a rounded warmth that stays in balance with the rest of the dish.
It was created to go with Charcoal-grilled Piri Piri Chicken, but it also works brilliantly with Smashed Potatoes or Charcoal Grilled Flat Iron Steak.
Grass-fed butter, smoked olive oil and olive powder come together in this rich, savoury sauce.
It melts beautifully over freshly grilled steak, chicken and seasonal vegetables. For the simplest pairing, order some warm sourdough and use it for dipping.
There is no universal winner. The right sauce depends on what you are eating and what you fancy at that moment.
Truffle Mayo brings comfort. Tahini keeps things bright and nutty. Fermented Chilli Jam adds sweetness and warmth. Chipotle Mayo turns up the smoke.
Next time you visit Hg for Mediterranean food or order healthy food for takeaway or delivery, try a different pairing. Sauce may be a small addition, but it can change the whole plate.
