White wine & caper cream sauce

This sauce is a dance of acids and fats. The sweetness and thickness of the cream are cut through by the vinegar-salt character of the capers and the acidity of the white wine. A perfect accompaniment to plain roast meats or fish, where the sauce gives the character.

Instructions

1

Rinse the capers, finely chop the onion.

Tip: The caper brine is very salty/vinegary, it can ruin the ratios if you don't rinse it.
2

Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until translucent.

3

Pour in the wine, reduce by half.

Tip: This reduction concentrates the flavours.
4

Add the cream and capers, boil down to sauce consistency. Season at the end.

Tip: Be careful with salt because of the capers!
