Artichoke Sauce

Submitted by sprout 13

"The local grocery had artichokes on sale and I made up some sauce to go with a plain steamed 'choke. By itself the sauce tastes a bit strong, but when added to the unseasoned artichoke it's just right. The mustard sounds "odd", but adds a depth and flavor, making the sauce much tastier than just plain butter and salt."

 

• Ready In: 3mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 garlic clove, pressed or finely grated
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon brown mustard
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons water

directions

1. Combine all ingredient except water. Microwave until the butter is melted (mine took 15s).
2. Stir in water. The mustard will make the sauce emulsify into a smooth mixture.
3. Serve as a dipping sauce with an artichoke. This makes a generous amount for one artichoke and can be multiplied for several artichokes.
