This sauce may have a fancy-sounding name, but do not be intimidated. It is actually a simple recipe that can be made right at home! Of course, I am talking about the amazing Beurre Blanc, something every home cook should have in their repertoire.

1 shallot minced

1/2 cp dry white wine
-
1/4 cp white wine vinegar

1/3 cp heavy cream

2 sticks butter, cubed and cold

Â
Directions
-
Start by adding your shallots, wine, and vinegar to a saucepan on high heat. Once this has come to a boil reduce heat to medium and reduce until almost a syrup.
-
Whisk in heavy cream and reduce slightly.
-
Remove from heat and slowly whisk in 4 cubes of butter to create emulsification. Keep adding the butter little by little until it is all used up.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
