Questions

Can I make Remoulade Sauce ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Refrigerated in a sealed jar, it keeps four to five days. Egg-emulsified sauces do not freeze; make only what you will use within the week.

Can I halve or double Remoulade Sauce?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
