  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 200 ml fish stock or chicken stock
  • 200 ml cream
  • 2 oranges

  • Lime oil

Instructions

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

Goes well with fish and poultry with tagliatelle

Melt the butter in a pan, dust with flour, stir, and let it brown lightly. Deglaze with port wine, add the stock and the juice of 2 oranges. Season with salt and pepper. Add the ginger and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens nicely. Before serving, add the cream and a few drops of lime oil and bring to a boil briefly. Perfect with fish dishes (use fish stock in this case), tagliatelle, or poultry dishes (with poultry stock). Tip: Orange oil also works great instead of lime oil.
