Buttermilk

- Fresh lemon juice
- To make the buttermilk, whisk together the whole milk and the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to thicken for 20 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a 5 qt. stock pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and reduce the heat. Sauté until softened.
- Place the diced carrots and potato in a steaming basket over 2 cups boiling water. Steam until tender but not soft, about 5-7 minutes. Retain the steaming water.
