Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 15 g Unsalted Butter
- 2 large Egg Yolks
- 30 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
- 60 ml Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
- 5 ml Dijon Mustard
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the extra virgin olive oil and unsalted butter. Stir gently until the butter has melted completely. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together egg yolks and fresh lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Slowly add the warm oil and butter mixture into the egg yolks, a few drops at a time, while whisking continuously. This process is crucial to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.
Once about half of the oil mixture has been incorporated and the sauce begins to thicken, you can add the rest more steadily while whisking continuously.
Gently whisk in the low-sodium vegetable broth to lighten the consistency of the sauce.
Add the Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, whisking until fully combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Remove from heat, and serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
