Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 ml White wine vinegar
- 60 ml Dry white wine
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 3 Egg yolks
- 150 g Unsalted butter, melted and warm
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch White pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, dry white wine, chopped shallots, and half of the fresh tarragon leaves. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce the liquid to about 2 tablespoons. Strain the mixture into a heatproof bowl and discard the solids.
Set up a double boiler by placing the heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Whisk the egg yolks into the reduced liquid until smooth. Continue whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously. Do this slowly to ensure the sauce emulsifies properly.
Once all the butter is incorporated, remove the bowl from the heat. Stir in the remaining chopped tarragon, mint, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or keep warm over a double boiler for up to 30 minutes before serving.
