Garnish Hollandaise







Use hollandaise sauce to accompany eggs benedict.


Hollandaise is an ideal accompaniment to vegetable, meat and fish dishes. This creamy, opaque and yellow French sauce is prepared by blending butter with egg yolks and lemon juice. You can purchase hollandaise sauce readymade or prepare it at home. Enhance the flavor of your homemade hollandaise sauce by garnishing it with a variety of ingredients such as tarragon, tomato puree or capers before serving.


Instructions


1. Add 1 tsp. fresh, finely chopped tarragon to the hollandaise sauce when it is ready to create Bearnaise sauce. Serve the Bearnaise sauce with steak, grilled salmon or poached eggs.


2. Add capers to hollandaise sauce to prepare a flavorful "sauce aux capres." Roughly chop 1 tbsp. capers and mix with hollandaise sauce before serving. Serve the "sauce aux capres" with a cod or mutton meal.


3. Combine hollandaise sauce with tomato puree to prepare "sauce choron." Mix 1 tsp. tomato puree with hollandaise sauce before serving. Accompany the "sauce choron" with grilled seafood such as sea bass or lobster.
