Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Lobster or seafood stock
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until completely liquefied but not browned.
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, but do not allow it to brown.
Gradually pour in the lobster or seafood stock, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Stir in the dry white wine and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off and the sauce reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the velouté is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and white pepper, adjusting to taste.
If desired, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Use the velouté immediately as a sauce for lobster enchiladas or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of stock or cream if needed to restore consistency.
