Lemon chive sauce

Ingredients for 3 servings:

• 1 shallot(s)
• 1 tsp clarified butter
• 2 bunches of chives
• 2 lemons
• 1 cup of cream
• 1 cup double cream
• Sugar
• Salt
• Pepper, white

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Delicious with fish and meat, but also with asparagus

Finely dice the shallot and sauté in a pan with the clarified butter; do not brown. Squeeze the lemons; if you prefer a sourer flavor, you can first peel the zest with a zester. Add the cream to the shallots in the pan and stir in the lemon juice. Bring to a boil while continuing to stir. Turn off the heat and add the double cream, mixing well. Season to taste with sugar, salt, and pepper. Finally, finely chop the chives and, if desired, add the lemon zest, and stir into the sauce.
