Fresh Herb And Cheese Sauce Recipes

HERB SAUCE IN 5 MINUTES

Steps:

• MAKE HERBS SAUCE: Finely chop herbs and green onions. Stir together with other dressing ingredients except oil. Slowly whisk in oil. Alternatively (I do this): put all herb dressing ingredients in a processor and pulse to blend well. Or use an immersion blender. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve at room temperature.

FRESH HERB AND CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• If you plan to serve this with pasta, put your pasta on to cook now. This sauce would also complement certain meats, chicken, for instance.
• Peel and finely chop onion.
• Melt the butter, fry the onion, stir in the flour and fry until golden.
• Gradually add the stock, and bring the sauce to the boil, stirring constantly.
• Add the wine and sour cream and allow to simmer on low heat.
• Season the sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Add the Mozzarella cheese cubes to the sauce and allow to melt over low heat.
• Stir the chopped chervil (or herb of choice) into the sauce.
• Beat the egg yolk with 2 tblsps of sauce, then blend into the rest of the sauce.
• Add cooked pasta of choice (recipe suggestion, tortellini, although I used the homemade gnocchi mentioned above).

CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour 500ml milk into a large saucepan and add 4 tbsp plain flour and 50g butter.
• Turn on the heat to medium and start to whisk the mixture. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil - the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken.
• Whisk for another 2 mins while the sauce bubbles then stir in 100g grated strong cheddar cheese (or 50g grated cheddar, 50g crumbled blue cheese) until melted.
