1 large head broccoli, broken into florets
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice, divided
1/2 stick (2 ounces) cold, unsalted butter, cut into small
pieces
salt
white pepper
1. Cook florets in a large pot of lightly salted water 5-7
minutes, until tender. Drain; return to pot to keep warm
while you prepare sauce. Place shallots, wine and 1
tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan over
medium heat. Simmer until reduced to 1 tablespoon.
Reduce heat to very low; stir in a few small pieces of
butter, swirling with a wire whisk until mostly melted.
Gradually add the remaining butter, whisking constantly
until sauce is smooth. Season with salt, white pepper
and remaining lemon juice to taste. Do not allow sauce
to boil. Pour sauce over broccoli.
White butter sauce, or "beurre blanc", is a simple butter
emulsion, made by whisking pieces of butter into a sauce
gradually. Mustard, chopped herbs or citrus rind may be added
to vary its flavor.
