Add in the reserved onions, vegetable stock, prepared mustard, lemon juice, and lemon zest and mix well. Cook 3 to 4 min, stirring frequently, till the vegetables are coated with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
- Comments: Although this vegetable dish looks and tastes rich and creamy, the piquant sauce is made with only one Tbsp. of butter - and no cream.
