Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Coconut aminos
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, then sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, coconut aminos, and powdered erythritol. Mix well until the erythritol dissolves.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
Continue cooking the sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning if needed.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Use the sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
