• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh thyme

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the olive oil, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined and emulsified.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
