Provence in a 1½-quart microwave-safe casse-

*Israeli couscous is a semolina pasta about the
size of a peppercorn. It can be found in many
well-stocked grocery stores with international
food sections, or in specialty grocery stores.
Simple Hollandaise
Sauces with egg emulsions can be daunt-
ing – making this one in your microwave
makes it quick and easy. Serve with fish,
vegetables or to make Eggs Benedict.
Makes about 1 cup
½ cup unsalted butter,
cut into ½-inch slices
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
Place butter in a microwave-safe 1-cup mea-
sure. Cover with waxed paper and place in the
Cuisinart
®
Compact Microwave and microwave
on high (PL 10) to melt, about 1 minute. Let
cool slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Place egg yolks, lemon juice, water, salt and dry
mustard in a microwave-safe 4-cup measure or
bowl with handle. Whisk until emulsified and
smooth. Whisk in melted, cooled butter; whisk
until completely emulsified.
Cook sauce uncovered for 2 minutes on medi-
um-high (PL 7), stopping to whisk briskly every
20 seconds. The mixture will begin to thicken at
the edges and resemble a soft custard. Cook
until mixture thickens enough to coat the back
of a spoon. Serve warm with seafood, vegeta-
bles, or eggs.
If not serving immediately, cover with a round of
waxed paper placed directly on the sauce to
prevent a skin from forming. To reheat, remove
waxed paper. Microwave on medium-low (PL 3)
for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk after 1 min-
ute of cooking, and again when cooking is
completed.
