Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon regular mustard optional but adds depth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs thyme, parsley, or chives, finely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat the Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan over medium heat. Warm gently without boiling.
  2. Add Mustard: Whisk in Dijon mustard and regular mustard until smooth. Keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  3. Season and Simmer: Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  4. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the finely chopped fresh herbs. The herbs provide freshness and make the sauce visually appealing.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour your homemade Dijon cream sauce over grilled chicken, steak, or salmon, or toss it with your favourite pasta. It’s fantastic on baked salmon recipes, beef tenderloin, or even a simple chicken breast.
