Classic Verjus Sauce w/ Butter Recipe from Thierry (The Chef in the Hat)


This is a classic brown sauce made with light and slightly acidic Verjus. Thierry pairs this sauce with the ever-rich foie gras.

Thierry is one of the nation's best French-trained chefs. 

This recipe was adapted from Thierry's cookbook, "Rover's - Recipes from Seattle's Chef in the Hat" (Ten Speed Press, 2005)

Directions:

1. Combine the verjus, shallots, thyme and bay leaf in a saucepan.

2. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil to reduce by about two-thirds - 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Add veal stock and reduce by half - about 8 - 10 minutes.

4. Add butter pieces, swirling the pan so that the butter melts creamily into the sauce.

5. Strain the sauce through a sieve into a smaller saucepan, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Keep warm over low heat. use over fois gras.
