Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Pour in the lemon juice and water, and add the lemon zest. Stir to combine and let it come to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Add the chopped parsley, dill, and ground black pepper, then whisk well.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce, whisking briskly to avoid clumping. Continue to whisk until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or immersion blender. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce becomes light and foamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement.
Serve immediately as a garnish for grilled fish, chicken, or vegetables. Enjoy the light, airy texture with a zesty and herbaceous kick.
