Lemon Caper Beurre
Blanc Seafood Sauce

Serves 6-8

2 Tbsp Minced Shallots
½ Bottle Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc Wine
1 each Medium Lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp Capers, drained
1 Cup Heavy Cream
8 oz Unsalted Butter
½ tsp Kosher Salt

Procedure:
1. Place the shallots and wine in a stainless steel saucepan on the stove. On high heat, reduce wine for about 12 minutes or until almost completely reduced.
2. Add lemon juice and capers to pan and reduce for about 1 minute.
3. Add cream and bring to a boil; reducing by half for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Reduce cream until desired thickness is achieved. This step can be done up to an hour before serving the sauce. Once the desired thickness is reached, set heat on low.
4. Cut butter into half-ounce cubes. Add cubes one at a time while constantly stirring with a whip. Wait until each cube is almost incorporated into the sauce before adding another. Once all the butter has been added, remove pan from heat, season with salt and serve.

Tips:
If the sauce starts to separate on the edges while adding the butter and gets thin then add butter faster and lift pot up off of burner. If sauce starts to get very thick then add butter slower.
If you desire to hold the sauce, the trick is to not let it get too cold or too hot. Maintain a temperature no cooler than 100 degrees and no hotter than 130 degrees. If the oven is on and burners off, leaving saucepan on the stovetop will usually keep it warm enough. Stir the sauce every 15 minutes or so if holding the sauce.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh orange juice
1 tsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. peanut oil
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 Tbsp. minced, peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons orange juice and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Place pork slices cut side down on work surface and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand to make medallions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
