Hollandaise Sauce For Vegetables Food

CLASSIC HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place egg yolks and water in the top of a double boiler and beat well with a wire whip or fork.
• Put all but 2 tbs of the butter in a small saucepan over moderately low heat (about 225F degrees) until just melted.
• Add 1 tbs of the cold butter to the egg and water mixture and place over hot, not boiling water.
• Whip constantly until egg yolks thicken slightly.
• Remove from heat and whip in the second tbs of cold butter.
• Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, beating constantly.
• Place over hot, not boiling, water (water below should not touch bottom of pan) cook until thickened, whipping constantly.
• Thickened Hollandaise should hold the imprint when a fork or whip is drawn across the surface.
• Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, and cayenne.
• Sauce may be placed in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water, covered, and kept until serving time.
• Serve with vegetables, baked or broiled fish, and shell-fish.
• Note: if you use salted butter, omit the salt in the recipe.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add egg yolks to a small saucepan; whisk until lemon yellow and slightly thick, about 1 minute. Whisk in lemon juice.
• Add 2 tablespoons cold butter, and place over very low heat. Whisk constantly while butter is melting, and continue whisking until thick enough to see the pan between strokes. Remove pan from heat, and beat in 1 tablespoon cold butter. Repeat. Whisk in melted butter a little bit at a time. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

STEAMED VEGETABLES WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a blender, place the yolks, salt, mustard, lemon juice, and tabasco.
• 2. Blend for about 5 seconds. Then, while blender is turned on, pour in the butter, which should be good and hot. (the temperature of the butter is the secret to this - make it very hot, taking care not to let it burn, and the hollandaise will thicken right away).
• 3. Heat sauce for a minute in the microwave or in a pan on the stove top. If you heat it on top of the stove, stir it constantly so that it doesn't burn. Pour over top of vegetables and/or the meat you might be serving with this. (The best thing, in my opinion, is to serve the sauce on the side in a bowl with a spoon. Let each person spoon however much they would like to have over their vegetables.)
