Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and low sodium vegetable broth. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
Add the dried thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well to integrate the spices.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while continuously whisking. This will thicken the sauce.
Continue to cook the sauce on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until it reaches the desired thickness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the olive oil, incorporating it into the sauce to add a smooth texture and shine.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. It will slightly thicken as it cools.
Serve the sauce warm or cool, as a condiment or a dip. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
