Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic, and sauté until the shallot becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to combine for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Slowly stir the yogurt mixture into the saucepan, ensuring it integrates smoothly without separating.
Add the dried thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Continue to simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly while stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Rahmsauce immediately over lean protein like chicken breast or a medley of steamed vegetables.
