    What are cornichons? Cornichons are small pickled gherkins, which are a variety of cucumber. Cornichons are a traditionally served as a condiment with a number of classical French dishes like pate. Cornichons have a tart, mildly sweet flavor & they are used for both flavoring & as a garnish. Cornichons are frequently paired with capers. Many recipes incorporate chopped cornichons, including beef stroganoff & steak tartare, as well as various cold salads like egg salad or potato salad. Cornichons complement pork dishes, such as grilled pork chops & are often included in sauces for pork. Classic sauces featuring cornichons include the Charcutière sauce & Gribiche sauce. NOTE: I have found Cornichons at Trader Joes.
