Ingredients

1 cup of velvety Dijon mustard
1/3 cup of unprocessed honey

1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon of roughly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of marine salt
3 tablespoons of light whipping cream

Instructions

Begin by painstakingly peeling and finely chopping the fragrant garlic bulbs. This lends the sauce a wonderful sharp undertone.
Dispense the olive oil into a small, nonstick pot. Heat it on a medium flame until small waves appear on the surface.
Once the oil reaches the optimal temperature, introduce your aromatic finely diced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the garlic achieves a light, golden brown hue, filling your kitchen with an irresistible scent.
Present the main ingredient, Dijon mustard. Scoop it into the pot, letting it fizz and meld with the sautéed garlic.
Now, it’s the honey’s turn to shine. Drizzle it gradually, allowing it to interweave its sweet charm into the mustard and garlic concoction.
Incorporate the distilled white vinegar, watching as it effervesces, introducing a sour freshness to the blend.
Season the assembly with roughly ground black pepper and marine salt. This not only enriches the flavors but also infuses a hint of the untamed into your sauce.
Diminish the heat and introduce the light whipping cream. Observe as it spirals and integrates, providing the sauce a plush texture and a calming creamy accent.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for a few moments until all the ingredients have seamlessly united. Its gorgeously creamy texture and a symphony of tastes now prepared to adorn your dishes.
