Directions
Asparagus in Creamy Orange Maltaise Butter Sauce, This is a recipes from a small book of great recipes called Salads and Summer Dishes I borrowed it and have made many of the recipes so far, with excellent results so this one is on the to do list Maltaise sauce is a variation on the traditional Hollandaise sauce, but orange juice is added for a slightly different take, in flavour and colour to an old classic Posted for ZWT REGION: France , OMG this was awesome The flavor of the orange and lemon just was fantastic I was a little confused by the way the recipe instructions were written in that it says to beat the butter, egg yolds, salt, pepper and orange rind together But then it says to add the butter a little at a time So I mixed the egg yolks, s/P together then added the juice and slowly added the butter Very nice I severly overcooked my asparagus because of unexpected company, but it tasted great anyway Thanks kiwi

to Make the Sauce, in a Small Metal Bowl or Pot Beat the Butter, Egg Yolks, Salt, Pepper and Orange Rind Together. Place Over a Larger Pan of Hot Water and Whisk in the Orange and Lemon Juice Cooking Over a Gentle Heat While Adding the Butter a Little at a Time, So That It Thickens, Don't Rush This, Becuase If the Previous Amount of Butter Has not Emulsified Before the Next Lot Is Added, the Sauce Will Split. |
