I found this recipe on another site. I LOVE this sauce. It's perfect for fish (including shellfish), chicken, and even veal. I'm posting it for ZWT5 for France.

Time 35m

Yield 1 3/4 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 bay leaf
6 black peppercorns
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups cold butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place shallot, bay leaf, peppercorns, vinegar, and wine in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and continue simmering until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain.
  • Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer; simmer until the cream has reduced by half. Increase heat to medium-high, and rapidly whisk in the butter, piece, by piece until it has melted into the cream and thickened it. Strain the sauce through a mesh strainer to remove the spices. Serve immediately.
