Category: Sauce Typical recipe from: United States Ready in: 10 minutes Servings: 4 people |  |
| Ingredients: 2 oranges 1/2 cup white wine 2 teaspoons minced shallots 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter Salt and white pepper |
Directions: Zest half of one orange (about 2 teaspoons) and juice the two oranges (about 3/4 cup). Put the juice, zest, wine and shallots in a sauce pan on medium high heat. Cook until it is syrupy and almost gone. On low heat, whisk in the butter continuously and vigorously, 1 tablespoon at a time. Butter is the only emulsifier for this sauce, and if you slowly add it, continuously stirring, the sauce will achieve a silky smooth texture. Do not let the sauce boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. |
