Tips
- To make this recipe vegan, use vegan butter. Omit the salt and season to taste as vegan butter is already salted.
- This sauce is versatile and can be tossed with pasta, mixed with couscous or rice, served as a dipping sauce (especially with steamed artichoke leaves or roasted baby artichokes), or drizzled over simply cooked veggies like green beans, roasted asparagus, roasted radishes, and cauliflower.
