Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots and ginger. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the vinegar and wine. Cook until reduced to one-third cup. Add the cream, bring to the boil and add remaining butter. Put the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids. Keep warm.

Do you have to buy an entire pint of heavy cream for 2 tablespoons? I don't use cream. Is there a substitute? (I know, the French love cream.) I am a 1% milk person.

A tiny amount of plain yogurt 1%.

This splendid sauce was originally designed to accompany a recipe of paupiettes of sole stuffed with mushrooms and spinach. It is delicious there and on other seafood recipes as well .

Amazing on broiled swordfish = Pierre Franey classic

Would help to have some ideas on how to use the sauce... for some of us lay people/new cooks....
