A classic French sauce, Beurre Blanc is a velvety, buttery emulsion that pairs perfectly with fish and seafood dishes. It’s a blend of reduced white wine and vinegar whisked with butter until creamy. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 200 grams butter (either salted or unsalted)
  • 50 ml dry white wine
  • 30 grams shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • Salt and white pepper, to season
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional for a little kick)

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, combine the white wine, chopped shallots, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
  2. Once reduced, decrease the heat to low. Begin adding the butter, one piece at a time, whisking continuously to form an emulsified sauce. Do not let the sauce boil, as this will cause it to separate.
  3. Season with salt, white pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Strain the sauce to remove the shallots.
  4. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve. If it cools down and solidifies, gently reheat without letting it boil.

Serve your Beurre Blanc Sauce over grilled or poached fish, steamed vegetables, or even with roasted chicken. Enjoy the rich, buttery goodness!
