If you like lemon flavor, you are in for a treat. This sauce, made with Meyer Lemons, has a citrus profile with a subtle sweetness in the background. Flavored with butter, garlic, white wine and fresh rosemary, this sauce is great on pork, chicken, fish or just about anything you can think about.
Estimated Time 35 minutesminutes
Servings 40Tablespoons
Here's What You Need
6tablespoonsbutter in all
2mediumShallots - chopped fine
2clovesgarlic - smashed
2tablespoonsA/P flour
1tablespoonMeyer lemon zest
To tasteKosher Salt and Ground Black Pepper
3slicesmeyer lemon
4tablespoonsMeyer lemon juice
1teaspoonWorcestershire Sauce
1cupDry White Wine
1cupChicken Stock
1sprig fresh rosemary
Here's What You Do
In a cast iron skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over a medium heat, then add the shallots and crushed garlic.
Saute until the shallots are starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the flour and stir or whisk together until a light roux develops.
Add the lemon zest, lemon slices and some kosher salt and pepper. Let the slices have direct contact with the bottom of the pan so they get a slight sear for a couple of minutes.
Add in the Lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, wine, stock and fresh rosemary, stir then increase the heat until starting to simmer.
Add the 2 remaining tablespoons of butter and shake the pan while that melts.
Continue to shake the pan while the butter melts and the sauce thickens slightly-about 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, remove the lemon slices and rosemary and ladle on top of sliced pork, chicken, veal or fish.
Notes
If you don't have Meyer lemons you can substitute 3 tablespoons of lemon juice plus 1 tablespoon of mandarin (or any other sweet orange) for the juice. The zest and slices of regular lemons or oranges will work fine.
