Tips

No special items needed.

This is such an easy sauce to make. I did add some chives, freshly ground pepper and just a little salt to the sauce mix and served half over mixed steamed vegetables and used the other half of the sauce to pour over baked cauliflower. This sauce complimented the steamed vegetables so well and paired perfectly when poured over the cauliflower which was then topped with breadcrumbs. I am sure to be making this again.
