Michael's Recipes/Sauces: Allemande Sauce

Allemande Sauce


Ingredients:

  • 1 qt veal veloute
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ C heavy cream
  • 1½ tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and white pepper to taste

Place the veloute in a saucepan and bring to a simmer; reduce slightly.

Beat the yolks and cream together in a stainless steel bowl. Temper the liaison by slowly adding a small amount of the hot veloute; repeat until you've incorporated about a third of the sauce into the liaison. Slowly stir the liaison back into the pan.

Reheat to a very low simmer. Do not bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Strain through cheesecloth.

This sauce can also be made with chicken veloute if it's all you have on hand.
