Cilantro Butter Sauce
Ingredients:
1 cup dry white wine
1 shallot, minced
1 cup whipping cream
8oz unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Boil wine with shallot in a medium, no reactive saucepan until reduced to 1/3 cup. Stir in cream and boil until reduced by about half. Working over very low heat, whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is light and thick. Do not allow the sauce to boil at any time or it will seperate. Strain sauce through a fine wire mesh strainer into a warm bowl. Stir in cilantro, salt, and pepper.
This sauce is great for topping crab cakes and chicken.
