Lemon Sauce

Lemon Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup organic free range chicken stock
Juice of 1/4 to 1/2 lemon
Pinch of salt
dash of black pepper
2 tsp tapioca flour mixed in 3 tbsp water

Option to add 1 tsp – 1 tbsp sugar

In a saucepan mix water, chicken stock, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, (also sugar if a sweeter sauce is desired). Bring mixture to a simmer. Then thoroughly stir the tapioca flour and water mixture and teaspoon by teaspoon add it to the simmering sauce, stirring vigorously with each addition to prevent “clumping”. Once the tapioca is added mildly increase the heat and bring the sauce to a low boil stirring frequently. Then reduce heat back to low until ready to serve.

This is another basic starter sauce, a bit too simple in my opinion to bring together a meal but can work well in the background of asparagus, cabbage, pork.
