Cuisine: Sauce

Béarnaise Sauce

Béarnaise is one of the best sauces to serve with beef and, made the traditional way, also one of the hardest to make. Béarnaise Sauce is a variation of the classic Hollandaise Sauce, which is one of the five French “mother sauces” that every chef worth his salt works so hard to perfect. Unlike Hollandaise, which is a holy trinity of butter, lemon, and eggs, Béarnaise Sauce is based on vinegar and wine infused shallots and is basically a Beurre Blanc fortified with egg yolks and flavored with Tarragon.

This version is a fast and foolproof way to get the taste of classic French cuisine with little effort—the calories, unfortunately, stay the same….

Chicken Scaloppine with Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

Scaloppine is meat that is flattened by pounding and usually dredged in flour or breadcrumbs. My friend Barbee saw this Chicken Scaloppine with Red Wine Mushroom Sauce on The Chew and said it was the best chicken she had ever made or eaten! I have to agree with her, it's a winner.

Pork Schnitzel with Lemon Caper Cream Sauce and Noodles

A schnitzel is meat, thinned by pounding with a meat tenderizer and coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried. Every country in the world has a version of this dish. This Pork Schnitzel with Lemon Caper Cream Sauce and Noodles is absolutely delicious. I served with Trader Joe's Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta. It can't be too lemony for my husband!

Ikea Swedish Meatballs with Cream Sauce

The largest IKEA in the United States just opened in Los Angeles. It’s absolutely massive. They almost need to put in a trolley! This is about their iconic Swedish meatballs and the beauty of it is that you can buy them frozen after you buy your GRÖNKULLA, FLÄRDFULL, SMÖRBOLL and (I always buy) their paper napkins. I know a lot of people that do not live near an IKEA, so here is a recipe to make them yourself.
