Herby White Sauce
This deliciously creamy white sauce is a total winner when you need something to top of your garden-veg, as a great alternative to mayonnaise, and simply a nice dip without any of the guilt. If on a cleanse, simply skip the olive-oil and make this a virtually fat-free dressing. Either or, this sauce will leave you longing for more.
Ingredients
- 1 x clove of garlic
- 1 x shallot chopped
- 2 x teaspoons of olive oil omit for a fat-free dressing
- 1 x cup plant-milk alternative I use oatly's organice oat milk
- 1 x teaspoon fresh parsley
- 1/2 a teaspoon of stock-powder ensure that you're stock powder is yeast free, and most importantly has no added fats such a hydrogenated vegetable oils, palm oils, etc. Be sure to also buy a brand that is free of maltodextrin, and any other natural or unnatual flavourings.
- 1 x teaspoon fresh dill
- 3/4 of a teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 x teaspoon coconut aminos leave out if doing a cleanse
- 1 x teaspoon arrowroot powder
- half a teaspoon of lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a high-speed blender, plus salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the mixture to a heavy bottom sauce pan and heat lightly on the stove.
- Keep stirring the mixture and increase heat bit by bit for about 3-5 minutes until mixture thickens up nicely. If you don't reach a nice thickness after a while, simply add a bit more arrowroot powder and keep heating and stirring (don't bring to the boil though!)
- Take off the heat and let the sauce cool down.
- Once its cooled down a little have a try and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Let cool for at least an hour in the fridge, then serve!
