    I made this tonight for steamed broccoli. I didn’t have unsalted butter so i used salted. I didn’t have any white wine so i used sake. I didn’t have any wine vinegar so i used rice vinegar. I did have an old shallot I found in the back of the refrigerator. I used a little white pepper, and it came out great! I’m not sure that it still qualifies the same recipe anymore but i am still giving Chef “the chosen one” John full credit.
    Thanks again Chef John! I hope to meet you one day next visit to San Francisco.
    I love your videos.

    For the record, this sauce keeps BEAUTIFULLY in a thermos on the counter for up to 12 hours without breaking (separating). It was almost unbelievable... When I opened it, a wisp of steam; not really, probably just water vapor under pressure, but still, not clotty or broken. It's probably the cream. Cheers!

    I recommend the white wine vinegar...it gives it a very specific taste that is out of this world. I've been making this for years, and I know they say the cream is optional, but I always added it once done to give a little creamier flavor. I didn't realize you could do it in the beginning like that. Also, I've never added the cayenne...I might try that. This sauce will take your fish to another level! It's so good!

  • @Governmenttruth
    @Governmenttruth 8 років тому +1

    The way this was taught me at school was to first make the gastrique,( white wine, vinegar, crushed peppercorns, shallot and bay leaf) which is reduced and then put through a sieve. Then the cream is added, (more than you use, equal amounts of white wine and cream) and this mixture is reduced over medium heat until it thickens. Then the lumps of cold butter are added. There's also a version without cream, but I only use that for making a beurre rouge ( with red wine of course). Love your food channel!

    Pro Tip: if your sauce gets too hot and it splits, immediately remove it from heat and wisk in an ice cube or two. It'll bring it back down to temperature so that the acidic reduction and the fatty butter can recombine.

    • @AlexanderGonzalez-hl8kx
      @AlexanderGonzalez-hl8kx 6 років тому

      Yes, but some of us who know how to do these things know that this is not a classic technique.
      The beurre blanc, the the grey shallots, wine/ vinegar, wine only or villager only is reduced to a syrup consistency in advance ( cooled ) before adding the butter on low heat, and not allowed to simmer.
      In the beurre nantais, the shallots are strained out, and then the butter is added off the heat. Very little cream is used .
