Ingredients
- 1 cup dry white wine
- ⅓ cup minced shallot, from 1 large shallot
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a 2 to 3-quart (2 to 3L) saucepan, combine the wine and shallot. Boil over high heat until the wine is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the cream and boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, and then gradually add the butter, one piece at a time, whisking constantly, until melted (wait until each piece is melted before adding the next).
- When all the butter is incorporated, stir in the lemon juice, chives, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. (Keep in mind the sauce will have a creamy consistency but it will not be thick.) Cover to keep warm and set aside for up to 30 minutes.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Instructions: The beurre blanc will hold for about 30 minutes covered at room temperature.
