- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (141 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Low carb
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, sulphite
Ingredients
- 15 g Shallots, raw
- 15 g Vinegar, white
- 30 g Wine, white
- 80 g Butter, unsalted
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.2 g White pepper
Method
- Combine the shallots, vinegar and wine in a small saucepan and simmer until reduced to about 2 tablespoons of liquid.
- Strain out the shallot if you like, then set the pan over very low heat.
- Whisk in the cold butter a cube at a time, letting each piece melt and emulsify before adding the next, keeping the sauce warm but never fully boiling.
