BEURRE BLANC (CLASSIC FRENCH BUTTER SAUCE)

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the vinegar and wine. Cook until the liquid is almost totally reduced.
• Add the heavy cream and salt and bring to the boil. Add the pieces of butter, a few at a time, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk.

CHEF JOHN'S BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Place wine, lemon juice, cream, shallots, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and let simmer until liquid is reduced by about 75%, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and whisk in about 2 cubes of butter. Keep butter moving until it melts. When melted, add a few more cubes, whisking continuously so butter emulsifies into the wine/lemon juice mixture.
• Continue to add butter, a few cubes at a time until all of it has been incorporated and the sauce has a thick, luxurious texture, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and add a pinch of salt and cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH TOMATO BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Make beurre blanc:
• Soak tomatoes in warm water until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and pat dry, then mince. Stir together tomatoes, butter, and salt, then form into an 8-inch log on a sheet of plastic wrap and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 1 hour. Cut tomato butter into 12 equal pieces.
• Cook shallot in 1 piece of tomato butter (keep remaining butter chilled) in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining cold tomato butter 1 piece at a time, adding each piece before previous one has completely melted and lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture (sauce should not get hot enough to separate). Whisk in water and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer beurre blanc to a bowl and keep warm, covered, in a larger bowl of warm water.
• Sauté scallops:
• Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear 6 to 8 scallops, turning once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a platter as cooked and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Sear remaining scallops in same manner, wiping out skillet and adding about 1 teaspoon oil between batches.
• Spoon 3 tablespoons beurre blanc onto each of 6 plates, then top with scallops.

BEURRE BLANC SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a heavy sauce pan combine shallots, white wine, and white wine vinegar. Simmer mixture gently until nearly all liquid has evaporated. Check saucepan to ensure that it has not browned. Browning will discolor the sauce. Wipe off browning with a wet towel. Add heavy cream or liquid replacement. If cream is not being used, an equal amount of water or other liquid must be added to prevent sauce from becoming too thick. Add prepared butter. Over high heat, whisk sauce until butter has melted. Season to taste. Add a few drops of wine vinegar if sauce seems flat. Add butter if sauce is harsh or acidic.

SCALLOPS BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• For the beurre blanc, place the shallots, vinegar, wine and 60ml water into a saucepan.
• Set over a moderate heat until almost no liquid remains.
• Turn the heat down to a low setting and whisk in the butter one piece at a time, allowing each piece to melt and homogenise before adding the next.
• Once all the butter has been used the sauce should be pale and have a thin, custard-like consistency. Keep warm.
• Brush the scallops with oil.
• Heat a heavy-based frying pan and fry the scallops for one minute on each side, or until golden-brown on the outside.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the sauce over the scallops and garnish with chives.

TOMATO BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• 1. Make the reduction by dicing the shallots and garlic. 2. Place them into a pan with the stock, tomato flesh, vinegar and herb stalks. 3. Allow to simmer and reduce to about 100ml in volume. 4. Once reduced strain through a sieve. 5. You can then either store the liquid reduction in a jar or bottle to use later. 6. To finish the sauce simply add the cream and then slowly whisk in the cubes of butter until the sauce thickens over a gentle heat. 7. Be sure not to overheat the sauce when adding the butter as it may split.
