Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium shallots, finely minced
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup white-wine or Champagne vinegar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as tarragon, basil, parsley, and chives

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, combine shallots, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn down heat to lowest possible flame. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding a piece as previous one melts. Don't allow sauce to become too hot. For a more smooth sauce, strain through a fine sieve, if desired.
  • Season with salt and pepper and keep over a bain-marie. Just before serving, stir in herbs.

This recipe is terrible. It's not even worth one star.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making it.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. It's too complicated and the end result is not worth the effort.

This is the worst beurre blanc recipe I've ever tried. It was bland and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly and my beurre blanc turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This beurre blanc was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of beurre blanc, but this recipe was surprisingly good. It was light and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the fish I served it with.

This recipe was easy to follow and the beurre blanc turned out delicious. I used it to top grilled scallops and it was a perfect pairing.
