CLASSIC BEURRE BLANC: WHITE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon, and bay leaves to make an infusion. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, about 2 tablespoons. Add the cream and continue to simmer until reduced again to about 2 tablespoons. Cream is added to make the sauce more stable and less likely to separate.
• Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Whisk in the chunks of butter in small batches. The butter should melt without the sauce getting too hot, producing a creamy emulsified sauce. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F, where it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together. Season with salt and pepper, fold in the chives, and serve immediately. Keep covered in a warm place for a few hours, if needed.
• Serve with fish or vegetables.

SAUTéD ROCKFISH WITH BEURRE BLANC SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. (only if the fish is 1 inch or more thick) 1 If the fish is less than 1 inch thick, finishing in the oven is not necessary. Prepare the Sauce 1 Boil wine, vinegar, and shallot in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until liquid is syrupy and reduced to 2 to 3 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Add cream, salt, and white pepper and boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to moderately low and add a few tablespoons butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter a few pieces at a time, whisking constantly and adding new pieces before previous ones have completely liquefied (the sauce should maintain consistency of hollandaise), lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture. 2 Remove from heat, add capers, and then season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to assemble the dish. Prepare the Mushrooms 1 Remove the stems and thinly slice the mushrooms (into 1/4 inch slices). Sauté in a medium sauté pan with 1/3 of the olive oil over medium heat until just tender. Keep warm until assembling the dish. Prepare the fish 1 Dust each piece of fish in flour and shake off the excess. Lightly beat the eggs and dip each piece of fish into the egg wash until completely covered. Heat 2/3rds of the olive oil in large sauté or frying pan over medium high heat. Sauté the fish on each side until golden brown adding additional olive oil if the pan becomes too dry. Work in batches to avoid over crowding the pan. When the fish is golden brown on each side, remove from heat and check the center to be certain it is just opaque. If the fish is thick (more than 1 inch), it may be necessary to finish cooking in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for a few minutes. Simply place the frying pan in the oven. Do not over cook! Three to five minutes in the oven should be sufficient! Assemble the dish 1 Arrange the fish on a serving platter. Divide the mushrooms placing equal portions on esch serving. Spoon the Beurre Blanc sauce over the fish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve.

MORTON'S BEURRE BLANC SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, heat the clarified butter over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it softens without coloring. 2. Add the wine, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the wine reduces and the liquid coats the bottom of the pan. Add the cream and simmer, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until reduced by half. 3. Reduce the heat to low and begin adding the butter, a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition. Do not allow the cream to boil once the butter is added. Serve each fillet garnished with a lemon half and the beurre blanc sauce on the side. Notes: Buerre Blanc is a delicious, classic sauce. You can varry the flavor easily by adding a bit of Lemon Juice or Orange Juice to the base/wine phase of creating this sauce. Finish it with the zest. When -mounting- the butter, the butter must be very cold and it helps to have the butter cut up. As you are whisking (and it's constant) you would do well to move the pan on and off the heat, keeping the sauce "finger hot". To make a really stable sauce, one can pre-reduce the cream and then chill, resembling something like Noxema Cold-Cream. One can also fill a vacuum thermos (very clean, no coffee residue) with very hot water, then pour out the water and pour the sauce into it, holding the sauce at the corect temerature. If the sauce does -break- (seperate)... you can resuce the efforts by using a hand-prep blender or, you can add mustard (a natural emulsifier) and still have a very tasty sauce.

LEMON CAPER BEURRE BLANC SEAFOOD SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Place the shallots and wine in a stainless steel saucepan on the stove. On high heat, reduce wine for about 12 minutes or until almost completely reduced. 2. Add lemon juice and capers to pan and reduce for about 1 minute. 3. Add cream and bring to a boil; reducing by half for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Reduce cream until desired thickness is achieved. This step can be done up to an hour before serving the sauce. Once the desired thickness is reached, set heat on low. 4. Cut butter into half-ounce cubes. Add cubes one at a time while constantly stirring with a whip. Wait until each cube is almost incorporated into the sauce before adding another. Once all the butter has been added, remove pan from heat, season with salt and serve. Tips: • If the sauce starts to separate on the edges while adding the butter and gets thin then add butter faster and lift pot up off of burner. If sauce starts to get very thick then add butter slower. • If you desire to hold the sauce, the trick is to not let it get too cold or too hot. Maintain a temperature no cooler than 100 degrees and no hotter than 130 degrees. If the oven is on and burners off, leaving saucepan on the stovetop will usually keep it warm enough. Stir the sauce every 15 minutes or so if holding the sauce.
