Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Egg yolks
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh parsley, basil, and thyme and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
Add egg yolks to the lemon and cream mixture, whisking continuously until the yolks are fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the melted butter into the lemon-cream mixture while whisking vigorously to ensure the egg yolks do not curdle.
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and place over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Do not allow it to boil.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove from heat and add the chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until it reaches a foamy consistency. This could take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately over grilled meats or vegetables for a flavorful keto-approved enhancement.
