Categories     Shellfish     Vegetable     Sauce

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pieces Juice of 4 whole lemons
1 tablespoons shallots minced
1 cups dry white wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup heavy or half and half cream
2 1/2 sticks butter cold unsalted
1/2 cup chives shaved

Steps:

  • Place the lemon juice, shallots, wine, and bay leaf in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium high heat.
  • Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, then add the heavy cream and continue to cook until it has reduced by half.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the butter bit by bit, adding the cubes just before the previously added ones melt completely. Strain the sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives.
  • Keep sauce warm (covered, along the back of the oven or in another warm place but not on a burner) and do not allow it to boil or it will separate. Makes about 1 cup
