This Cumin-Herb Sauce Is Thomas Chen's Secret Weapon. A few years back, chef Thomas Chen dunked crispy langoustine into a basil dipping sauce while dining at Les Fables de la Fontaine in Paris.

So I went back and tested different herbs and different citrus.” He then added smokiness with cumin, a rounded sweetness with honey and a hit of acid with lime. His resulting cumin-herb sauce is smooth, bright, sweet and smoky (see the recipe). The key to attaining the right mix of flavor is to let the herbs take center stage, Chen says. Once that perfect formula is achieved, the sauce has no limits.
