While leafing through my April issue, I came upon a dip idea that I found particularly interesting. This "Lemon Parmesan Dip" goes particularly well with asparagus (or any other spring/summer cooked vegetable) and is easily made.
This dip is very fresh, delightfuly tangy and has a wonderfully round Parmesan flavor. Very spring-like and lipsmackingly tasty. The perfect addition to your brunches or picnics!
~ Lemon Parmesan Dip/Dressing ~
Recipe taken from "Good Food" magazine and slightly adapted by Rosa @ Rosa's Yummy Yums 2010.
Ingredients:
The juice of one lemon
85g Unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
25g Parmesan, finely grated
A pinch garlic powder or 1/2 small clove fesh garlic, crushed (optional)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Espelette pepper, for sprinkling over the top
Method:
1. Tip the lemon juice into a small saucepan.
2. Over a very low heat, add the butter.
3. Melt and stir the butter into the lemon juice until you have a smooth sauce.
4. Add the Parmesan, garlic and season to taste.
5. Set aside to cool a little (3minutes) and serve warm.
I added some garlic powder to give this sauce a bit more taste. However, you can leave it out. You could add some chopped fresh herbs just before serving (chervil, basil, cilantro).
Serving suggestions:
This sauce is made to accompany asparagus, but you can also use it as a salad dressing/dipping sauce for warm vegetables (fennel, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc...).
