This dish is mostly about the sauce. It’s easy to stir-fry some chicken and veggies, but the yummy flavors of lemon and basil made a welcome change from our usual Asian flavors stir-fries. Think hollandaise, and a continental version of stir-fry and you’ll get the idea. We served the stir-fry on a bed of fragrant rice, then spooned sauce over the whole thing. Two thumbs up from the guys 🙂
Lemon Basil Sauce
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp white wine
1/8 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup heavy cream
8 basil leaves, sliced, plus extra leaves for garnish
Melt butter in small pot over low heat. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Don’t let the garlic brown. Add the lemon juice and wine and cook another minute or two. Add salt, pepper and cream. Simmer very gently over low heat, for about 15 minutes, until thickened and smooth, stirring frequently and at the end, constantly. Serve immediately.
Endlessly Delicious
