An othe “classic” meat and potatoes menu to warm you up during this winter which just won’t quit.
Chanterelles escalope, asparagus with hollandaise sauce and gratin dauphinois.
Vegan Hollandaise sauce
makes 250 ml
175 ml (3/4 cup) unflavored soy milk or other non-dairy milk
60 ml (2 tbs) warm melted Earth Balance or olive oil
30 ml (1 tbs) cornstarch
30 ml (1 tbs) fresh lemon juice
zest of half a lemon
salt to taste
pinch of tumeric (for colour)
In a saucepan mix together the soy milk, the cornstarch and tumeric, and whisk together well. Stir constantly over medium high heat until thick and translucent.
Scrape the yellow cornstarch mixture into the blender container containing the lemon juice and zest and salt. Blend well, adding the melted Earth Balance slowly through the hole in the lid while the machine is running. Blend until the mixture is pale yellow, homogeneous and emulsified. Serve immediately.
Makes a really awesome tofu florentine too.
Wine pairing suggestions:
A white from the Savoie region or a light, fruity and earthy red from Beaujolais such as a Brouilly, Fleury or Saint-Amour.
