"Beurre Blanc" news and stories

I have a some guests from out of town visiting for a few days and I wanted to prepare something special. As usual I am all about putting together a meal from fresh and local ingredients. Today it is handmade, cultured butter and fresh caught haddock which were the main ingredients around which I wanted to base the meal. When you have these two ingredients the dish that comes to mind is fish in a Beurre Blanc sauce. This is a sauce made from white wine, fresh squeezed lemon juice, sauteed shallots and then it is emulsified into a sauce by slowly whisking in butter at a very low temperature. I will serve this with a nice Tomato, Green Bean, and Baby Potato Salad with Garden Herbs.
