RAREBIT SAUCE

Categories     condiment

Time 30m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 ounces proper beer or any brand English golden ale
24 ounces whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/4 cup bacon fat
1 medium yellow onion, small diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons thyme leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup grated Irish Cheddar
1 1/2 cups crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pot, bring the beer and milk to a simmer (180 degrees F).
  • While you are bringing the milk and beer to a simmer, in a separate sauce pot, melt the butter and bacon fat. Once melted, add the onions and sweat until translucent. Add the flour to make the roux, making sure you stir continually so it gets nice and toasty, but doesn't burn to the bottom of the pot. De-glaze the pan with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar and thyme. By this time, the milk and beer should be ready to add to the roux. Add slowly, continually stirring to break up chunks and emulsify the mixture. Bring the mixture up to 185 degrees F and remove from the heat. Add the Irish Cheddar, blue cheese and salt and blend with an immersion blender (if you don't have an immersion blender, add the cheese while the mixture is still hot and whisk vigorously with a whisk to fully incorporate).

Time 20m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups sauce

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup porter beer
1 teaspoon English mustard powder
2 or 3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 or 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
5 ounces sharpest Cheddar available, grated (about 2 cups)
5 ounces Stilton, crumbled (about 2 cups depending on how finely it's crumbled)
Salt and freshly grated black pepper
Long thin slices of French baguette cut on a bias
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Cloves of garlic, halved
Thin slices tomato and diced tomatoes, for garnish
Crumbled bacon
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the beer until smooth. Whisk in the mustard, hot sauce and Worcestershire until smooth. Gradually add the cheese, alternating between the Cheddar and the Stilton, a handful at a time, whisking until smooth and creamy before adding more, 3 or 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler. Arrange the bread in a single layer, brush with oil and lightly toast. Rub the oiled side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Arrange tomato slices on the toasts, top with a layer of the cheese mixture and broil until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown, 2 or 3 minutes. Garnish with bacon, diced tomatoes and chives before serving.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup beer (not dark)
a 13 1/2- to 14 1/2-ounce can tomatoes, drained in a sieve, chopped, and drained again well
