CREOLAISE SAUCE



Creolaise Sauce image

What if you seasoned hollandaise with a spicy Creole mustard? You'd get this sauce, which Marion Burros brought to The Times in 1983, part of a piece on Cajun cooking. In it, she highlighted Chez Marcelle in Broussard, where Marcelle Bienvenu served this particular sauce alongside stuffed crabs, one of the restaurant's specialties. But the sauce can stand on its own, as a stand-in for regular hollandaise. Pair it with eggs, or asparagus, for a bit more kick than the original.

Tips:

  • For the creolaise sauce, use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh shallots, garlic, and herbs, to ensure the best flavor.
  • Make sure to cook the shallot and garlic gently over low heat until softened, without browning, to bring out their sweetness and avoid bitterness.
  • Use a dry white wine that is not too acidic, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, to deglaze the pan and add a subtle acidity to the sauce.
  • Reduce the wine by half before adding the fish stock and cream, as this will concentrate the flavor and add depth to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce gently for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of spice.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite fish or seafood dishes, such as grilled salmon, shrimp scampi, or steamed mussels.
