Sauce: Choron recipe
Serving Size: Not set

Ingredients

- 3 tbsp (44.36 mL) white vinegar
- 3 tbsp (44.36 mL) white wine
- 10 peppercorns, crushed
- 2 tbsp (29.57 mL) finely chopped shallots
- 1 tbsp (14.79 mL) chopped tarragon leaves
- 1 tbsp (14.79 mL) tomato paste
- 1 tbsp (14.79 mL) water
- 3 pasteurized egg yolks, beaten
- 1 cup (236.59 mL) unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Boil the vinegar, wine, peppercorns, shallots, tarragon and tomato paste together until only 1 tbsp (14.79 mL) liquid remains. Strain into a clean saucepan.
2. Stir in the water. Over low heat, whisk in the yolks continuously for 3-4 minutes, until foamy and thickened.
3. Slowly stream in the melted butter while whisking. Season and serve immediately.

Use pasteurized yolks; gentle warming is not a pasteurization guarantee. Metric volumes are rounded conversions of the unchanged US source measures, not ingredient weights.

Yield: About 1 cup (236.59 mL)
