EMERIL’S LEMON BUTTER SAUCE
1 1/2 cups
INGREDIENTS
1 c Dry White Wine
3 Lemons, peeled and quartered
1 T Minced Shallots
1 T Minced Garlic
1/2 c Heavy Cream
1/2 lb (2 sticks) Cold Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces
1 t Salt
1/8 t Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 T Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley
METHOD
  • Combine the wine, lemons, shallots and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the lemons with the back of a spoon to break them up.
  • Add the cream and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated and removing the pan from the heat periodically to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking; it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Whisk in the salt and pepper.
  • Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan or bowl; pressing against the solids with the back of a spoon.
  • Fold in the parsley and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
