BEURRE MONTé RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preparation: In a saucepan, bring the 1 tablespoon of water to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low and begin adding the chunks of butter (a little at a time) whisking constantly to emulsify. Once the emulsion is started, more butter may be whisked in. Hold the temperature of the Beurre Monte between 160 and 190 degrees F. for poaching. DO NOT BOIL OR THE MIXTURE WILL BREAK! The mixture should have the consistency of a very thick butter sauce. Beurre Monte can be set aside on the stove after being prepared. You should use the Beurre Monte Butter within an hour after you make it. The Beurre Monte can be frozen and used anytime on vegetables or seafood.

ROASTED GARLIC AND HERB BEURRE BLANC - AN AMAZING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium temperature, combine the wine, shallots, and garlic, and reduce until the wine just covers the shallots.
• Add the cream or half and half and reduce again until the mixture is thick and syrupy, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce the temperature to very low and gradually whisk the pieces of butter into the mixture, one cube at a time (alternately, you can remove it from the heat and - using an immersion blender - emulsify the butter into it one piece at a time; this is the method we used during class).
• Do not allow the sauce to become either too hot or too cold or it will break.
• Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, stir in the remaining ingredients (the herbs), and serve immediately.
• Note: we've served this over pork, chicken, rabbit, and vegetables - delicious!
• Also, feel free to experiment with other herbs than listed above.
