This simple cream sauce is the first thing I cooked using Piment d'Espelette at the Boonville Hotel. It is a great alternative to gravy and is lovely over roasted potatoes, steaks, and chicken.
Ingredients
-
1 shallot, diced
-
2 tsp Piment d'Ville
-
1/2 cup dry white wine
-
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
-
Salt
Directions
In a small or medium saucepan, combine shallot, Piment d’Ville and white wine. Over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Turn off heat and let mixture cool for a few minutes.
Whisk in heavy cream and simmer on low until cream has thickened to your desired sauce consistency. Add salt to taste, and even a bit more Piment d’Ville if you think it is lacking.
When ready to serve, gently reheat sauce over medium heat. Serve by the large spoonful.
Recipe Note
While the steps are easy to follow, it is incredibly easy for the cream to boil over when it is simmering. Keep an eye on it and a whisk in the pot. If it starts to boil over, turn the heat off immediately and whisk the mixture to calm it down a bit.
