Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce

Deantini's Note:

Who would have thought? A GUILT FREE Hollandaise Sauce that does not compromise on flavour!!! This is our go-to recipe and we find it better than the sauces filled with butter. Sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 1 week. From 'Smart Cooking' byAnne Lindsay.

• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 1.25 cups

• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt, plain
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 pinch fresh ground pepper
• optional 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley

Directions:

1. Use double boiler or like me - place a strainer/sieve over a sauce pan of water and place a bowl in the sieve.
2. Beat yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks well
3. Heat over simmering water, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened, approx 15 min (sauce will become thinner after about 10 min and then thicken again).
4. Remove from heat and stir in salt, mustard, pepper and dill/parsley (if using).

What a great "cheat"!! This was yummy on my Valentine's Day filet! I did add some fresh tarragon for more of a bernaise sauce flavor. Would have done the whole shallot and vinegar thing but was short on time. Sauce was great and I will use this again and again! Love being able to enjoy this without the guilt and calories of the original.

I thought it was good. Recipe could definitely use more species: curry, turmeric, cumin, Tony Chachere's, 2 drops of Tabasco, and Garlic for sure!! A crunch would be interesting... Next time I will use chopped onion and Fresh Garlic. Also, I used "Cabot Greek- LowFat Yogurt Plain" I would recommend using another brand, it's too sour! Except for that good recipe ;)

This is a really excellent sauce. I didn't really believe that it could be as smooth & creamy as the real thing, but it is - with only a fraction of the fat and calories. In fact, we liked it better than the original because it is so much lighter. I'll definitely make this one again.
