Creamy rosemary & lime sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Sauces and Gravies
This sauce is proof that opposites attract. The fatty richness of the cream is cut through by the sharp acid of the lime, whilst the woody, resinous scent of rosemary adds depth to the whole. A perfect 'lifesaver' for drier roasts or a quick pasta dinner.

Instructions

1 ✓

Finely chop the garlic and rosemary leaves.

Tip: Pull the rosemary leaves off the woody stem, as the stem is hard and inedible.
2 ✓

Melt the butter, and sauté the garlic and rosemary in it for approx. 1 minute.

Tip: Only heat until you can smell them. If the garlic browns, it becomes bitter.
3 ✓

Pour in the cream, and simmer gently.

Tip: With the evaporation of water, the cream thickens naturally.
4 ✓

When the sauce is creamy, remove from the heat, and ONLY THEN whisk in the lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Tip: If you add acid to boiling cream, the proteins may clump (curdling). In a cooler medium, the emulsion remains stable.

Recipe FAQ

The cream curdled, why?
You likely added the acid (lime) to cream that was too hot or too low in fat. Use full-fat cream and lower heat!
