mliss29's Note:

I think I got this from World Wide Recipes, a recipe email zine I used to get. This sauce is really good on mashed potatoes, too.

We weren't wild about this. The sauce has a pasty consistency that was a bit of a turnoff. It's a texture thing. Maybe thinning it out a little would help.

I liked the flavor of this although I would reduce the onion down to a few tablespoons. It was more of a topping than a sauce. The sauce would work well on a number of vegetables and don't limit yourself to just broccoli. Thanks for posting! Reviewed for Veg Swap #19-2010.

Really great sauce! I made it as directed (except I roasted the broccoli and added roasted corn). I loved the tangy savory-ness of it. I think substituting lower fat sour cream or yogurt would be fine because the flavor from the mustard, onions and garlic is what really shines. Delicious!
