Pepper and Fresh Cream Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the flour and whisk constantly until a paste forms, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth.
4. Add the black pepper and salt and increase the heat to medium-high.
5. Whisking constantly, cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
7. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

Verdict:

This pepper and fresh cream sauce is silky smooth and rich in flavor. The freshly ground pepper adds a gentle heat that is well-balanced with the creaminess of the sauce. It’s a versatile sauce that pairs well with roasted or grilled meats, vegetables, and pasta dishes.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with grilled steak and roasted vegetables.
• Drizzle over roasted potatoes or pasta dishes.
• Use as a dipping sauce for chicken wings or nuggets.
