Bearnaise Sauce
From kismet 16 years agoIngredients
- Bearnaise sauce is not made like mayonnaise nor does it taste or look like mayonnaise.As far as I know bearnaise sauce that I've eaten does not contain wine,chervil,tarragon vinegar,or cayenne pepper,or not strained through a sieve.Don't know why? Just told when I was given this recipe,by a young french lady when we were stationed in the Air Force.All I know is the work is worth the taste afterward,atleast for me. shopping list
How to make it
- Take a small pan,place 1 teaspoon grated green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons dried tarragon leaves,rubbed together,to release the flavor in the leaves
- 2 drops of anise oil
- 4 Tablespoons of vinegar
- Heat on low until the vinegar is reduced about 1/3
- Stir all the time.Remove from heat and coo alittle
- Beat 5 egg yolk,will
- Add them to the other mixture,gradually,stirring constantly and vigorously;
- Place the pan back on the stove on very low ,gradually add about 6 oz of melted butter,stir well--Do not let the sauce come to more then just a simmer--Making sure when you add the melted butter it is warm and not hot
- Stir until the butter until like heavy cream
- The egg yolks cooking will make the sauce thicken
- Remove the sauce from the stove just as it thickens well
- Let it cool slightly
- Serve it warm or cold--never hot--
- I made my hamburger,just like I always do,Lettuce,Tomato,Dill pickle,slice red onion,Spread the hamburger bun pretty heavy with the sauce.--Not for everyone--but I liked it.
