Sauces Vin Blanc
- 1 litre sauce veloute made with fish sock.
- 2 dl good, clear fish stock.
- 1 glass of dry white wine.
- 4 egg yolks.
- 150g butter.
- salt and pepper.
In a thick bottom saucepan, bring the fish velouté along with the fish stock and white wine to the boil and allow to reduce by a good third.
Reduce the heat, then whisk in the egg yolks. Allow to simmer, very gently, for 10 minutes.
Just before serving whisk in the butter. Note that at this point the sauce cannot come to the boil anymore.

Directions for the sauce vin blanc's third recipe:
- 5 egg yolks.
- 500g clarified butter.
- 1 dl of good, clear fish stock.
- salt and pepper.
In a thick bottom saucepan, start whisking the egg yolks with a spoon of fish stock over a medium heat.
Keep working the egg while adding a spoon or two of fish stock from time to time until the sauce thickens and all the fish stock has been used. Make sure not overheat the pot (egg yolks start cooking at 55 degrees celsius).
Then, whisk in the clarified butter as you would do for a bearnaise sauce. Check the seasoning and set aside in a double-boiler until serving time.
