Beurre Blanc is a classic French sauce translated as "white butter"- which is an emulsified lemon butter sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 medium shallot (, minced )
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups unsalted butter (, cold and cut into cubes )

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, bring the white wine, lemon juice and shallot to a low simmer.

  2. 2

    Whisk in the fine sea salt, white pepper and cream.

  3. 3

    When barely bubbling, slowly whisk in a few butter cubes at a time until all are added and fully melted. The sauce will thicken. If you don't keep the temperature low and whisk continuously, the sauce will separate.

  4. 4

    Pour the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove large pieces of seasoning or shallot. Serve immediately.
