Bearnaise sauce
From Sam J Wiki
Other recipes I haven't tried this yet, but modified from the Hollandaise sauce recipe.
Bearnaise sauce for two
Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 17.5ml white wine vinegar.
- A very small amount of onion
- A pinch of tarragon
- 1.5oz butter, melted (about 10secs in the microwave on medium power)
Directions
- Fried onion in vinegar with tarragon, once cooked drain the onions keeping the liquid.
- Add vinegar stock.
- Put yolksand herbs in blender.
- Melt butter in microwave until fully melted but not spitting. 10 secs in an E rated microwave on medium or so.
- Blend the egg mixture on a high speed in a fixed blender for 10 seconds or so then add the butter slowly.
The heat from the butter will cook the eggs and create a smooth, glossy mixture ideal for fish or asparagus or a fresh green salad. If raw eggs are a concern, add 15ml boiling water to ensure egg yolks are cooked.
(If keen to save washing up, use a hand blender, but it does feel like you need four hands to coordinate this!)
Serve as soon as it is ready.
