Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (350 ml)360 gMilk, 2%
  • 5 cloves15 gGarlicpeeled whole cloves, lightly smashed
  • 2 tsp2 gDried thyme
  • 1½ tbsp12 gCornstarch
  • 2 tbsp30 gWatercold
  • ⅓ cup crumbled60 gFeta cheesecrumbled
  • 1 tsp2 gLemon zest
  • ½ tsp1 gBlack pepper

Steps

  1. Crumble the feta and zest the lemon before you start so they are ready when the sauce thickens.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, smashed garlic and dried thyme. Warm over medium-low heat until steaming with small bubbles at the edge, then keep it at a bare simmer for 8 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic is soft.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir the cornstarch into the cold water until smooth to make a slurry.
  4. Stir the slurry into the hot milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce bubbles gently and coats a spoon.
  5. Take the pan off the heat and add the feta, lemon zest and black pepper.
  6. Blend with an immersion blender (or carefully in a blender with the lid vented) until smooth, mashing the soft garlic into the sauce. Thin with a splash more milk from the pan's total if needed, and serve warm over vegetables.
