Hearts of Palm Sauce image

I picked up this sauce recipe at the Lighthouse restaurant in the Grand Caymans. This excellent German chef, would sit down at your table, and talk the evening's menu to you. Then, without taking a single note, he would go back into the kitchen and prepare your meal. I had sea scallops with an excellent sauce drizzled over them...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 oz hearts of palm, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
3/4 c half and half
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground, black pepper, or to taste
1/4 tsp ground cumin

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté the hearts of palm in the butter and olive oil, until they are fall-apart tender, but do not burn. Chef's Note: I've used canned hearts of palm with this recipe several times, with excellent results.
  • 2. Add the garlic, half & half, salt, pepper, and cumin, and then heat until the mixture just begins to simmer.
  • 3. Remove from heat, and blend in a mixer, or food processor until smooth.
  • 4. This is an excellent sauce for seafood, and goes well with my posted, Baked Scallops recipe.
