Beurre Blanc is a French sauce ( white butter ) based on a reduction of shallots and an acid such as vinegar, citrus juice, or wine, mixed in with cold butter. Its creamy tanginess works well with mild fish such as trout, shad, or haddock. Read more . It may also be served with any shellfish including lobster, crab, and scallops. This recipe courtesy of David Lemonica. Ingredients:
2 oranges |
1/2 cup white wine |
2 teaspoons minced shallots |
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter |
salt and white pepper |
Directions:
1. Zest half of one orange (about 2 teaspoons) and juice the two oranges (about 3/4 cup).
2. Put the juice, zest, wine and shallots in a sauce pan on medium high heat.
3. Cook until it is syrupy and almost gone.
4. On low heat, whisk in the butter continuously and vigorously, 1 tablespoon at a time.
5. Real Butter is the only one for this sauce, and if you slowly add it, continuously stirring, the sauce will achieve a silky smooth texture.
6. Do not let the sauce boil.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Makes about 1 cup.
