Lemon, cream, and butter blend for a tangy, smooth sauce easily finished with herbs.

# Liste des ingrédients:

01 - 120 grams unsalted butter
02 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
03 - 240 millilitres heavy cream
04 - 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
05 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
08 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble, without allowing it to brown.
02 - Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly, until aromatic and lightly softened.
03 - Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes so the sauce slightly thickens.

05 - Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Whisk in Dijon mustard if desired for extra depth.
06 - Remove from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving immediately.
