Light & Creamy Lemon Thyme Sauce (Glutenfree)

WEBJan 8, 2021 · Saute the aromatics in a little butter. Using just a little bit of butter with fragrant garlic and thyme provides that delicious base for this …

1. Saute the aromatics. In a small skillet on low-medium heat, add the butter, garlic, and thyme. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the stock and juice. Next, pour in the broth or stock and squeeze in the lemon juice. Allow the broth to simmer until it reduces by half, about 7-10 minutes.
3. Make the slurry. While the broth is reducing, combine the half and half and cornstarch to make a slurry.
4. Thicken the sauce. Add the slurry to the reduced stock and stir the sauce until it creates a creamy consistency, about 4-5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and lemon zest, if desired, at this stage. To make sure the sauce is the right consistency, coat the back of a spoon and run your finger down the middle. A clean streak should be made that does not drip. Once this is achieved, remove the skillet from the heat to prevent the sauce from thickening any further. Remove the thyme stems before serving.
