Roquefort Sauce Recipe

  Sauces




More Sauces Recipes

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound imported French Roquefort, softened (2 cups)
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) Unsalted Butter, softened (do not use salted butter, as the Roquefort is quite salty)
  • 3 cups dry White Wine or White Vermouth
  • 4-6 teaspoons Freeze-Dried Green Peppercorns
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 6 teaspoons fresh Parsley Leaves, minced fine
  • GARNISH:
  • Fresh Rosemary Sprigs

Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream the cheese and butter until smooth.
2. In a saucepan, boil the wine with the peppercorns until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, add the cream, and boil again until it is reduced by half.
3. Reduce the heat to moderately low, whisk in the cheese mixture, a little at a time, and then whisk in the parsley.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and keep the sauce warm.
5. Check for seasoning and add freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Do not add any salt, since Roquefort is quite salty on its own.

SERVES: 12


PRESENTATION SUGGESTIONS: Serve atop and alongside Grilled Steaks, as the French do. I would pass the extra sauce in a silver or glass sauceboat or pitcher for guests to take more.
