Ohmygawd, this is soooooooooooo good!!!!

If any of you have the latest book from Lidia Bastianich, make the
lemon sauce. It is like a very tart hollandaise, without eggs or
butter.

Here is the recipe very generally:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup strips of lemon peel...without pith, packed together
1/3 cup lemon juice from lemons.
1 1/2 cups water
5 fat garlic cloves
2 medium onions in large chunks or wedges
1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

To make this:

Put all of the first 7 ingredients, plus 1 tablespoon of the olive
oil, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cover and cook for about 20
minutes, at a gentle boil. Then remove the cover and cook rapidly for
about another 20-30 minutes til the onion pieces are barely covered in
liquid. Puree the sauce: I used a hand blender. With the blender
running, pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the sauce,
so that it incorporates. Add more salt if necessary. Serve warm, on
vegetables, such as aparagus, broccoli, zucchini.

I added a bit more olive oil, to cut the tartness a bit. It can be
stored in the fridge.

What do you use it on? Veggies, chicken, fish?

As I said above, use it on veggies.

I suppose you could use it on anything you wish.

Besides asparagus, what else would you serve this with? I'm always
looking at hollandaise for eggs benedict and corned beef hash.

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

Well..this isn't a hollandaise, but I could see it as a reasonable
substitute for hollandaise. I am thinking it would go well with fish
too. And a lot of green veggies.

I can see myself playing around with various things to serve with it.
Mind you, it is a very tart sauce...very, very lemony. If you don't
want it as lemony, I am thinking that increasing the amount of olive
oil you blend into it at the end might help mitigate that.

I am going to try this soon. The doctor has me on a low fat diet and
this may make a decent substitute for hollandaise.

I have printed it out and will give it a go. I try to avoid hollandaise,
have to watch the cholesterol, and this sounds rather good.

He is, but this is too much - even for me.

Jesus H. Christ on a stick, would you people STOP RESPONDING to this crap?
What the hell is WRONG with you all?

JUST IGNORE THEM. It's not funny, you're not going to change anyone's mind
by responding, and you're not making yourself look more intelligent. It
won't get people to want to sleep with you, your hair won't grow back, and
you won't lose 50 pounds by responding to these monsters.

You won't have a better relationship with your lord, you won't fix your
marriage, you won't amuse anyone but yourself (which is really just
masturbation, isn't it?), and it just makes this list worse for everyone
else.

I have these morons kill filtered for a bloody reason, but this place
rapidly becomes unreadable with every response you don't have the
self-control to avoid sending. You're not accomplishing anything except
adding to the unreadability of this list. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

So just STOP it.

Tough. I don't feed trolls, can't understand people who respond to
Chung, but Sheldon is different. I like him when he's in his right mind,
and my post was genuine well-meant advice. Maybe I should have responded
to him privately to spare other people's sensibilities, but I didn't.
I'm more concerned about his health.

The mind that he lost cannot be replaced. Although, that's probably a good
thing.

Well, I'm glad to hear you're OK, I really was concerned for you. I'm
used to you trading on being the old salt and using colourful languague,
but you treated us to a number of posts that were just plain unqualified
obscenities. That sort of thing really does offend a lot of people, and
even those of us who can cope with it are really not impressed. You are
capable of better.

I agree with you about the likes of Chung, but you do yourself no good
by lowering yourself to his level. People think you're cut from the same
cloth and killfile you. I know, I sound like a headmistress, but you've
been behaving like a particularly naughty schoolboy.
