Tarragon Beurre Blanc

Sauces

Ingredients

2 T shallots, finely chopped

1/4 C dry white wine

1/4 C white wine vinegar

6 T unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons, divided

1 T fresh tarragon, finely chopped

Directions

To a small skillet over medium heat, add the shallots, wine, and vinegar. Bring the liquid to a boil and use a silicone spatula to scrape up the brown bits. Continue to cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Boil until liquid is reduced to 1/4 C.

Decrease the heat to low and add 3 tablespoons butter, stirring with a silicone spatula until almost melted. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and swirl until incorporated and sauce has a creamy consistency. Stir in the tarragon and season with salt.

Notes

Goes well with fish.
