BOILED-PEANUT BEURRE BLANC
"Finish with gremolata and boiled peanuts." How often have you heard that phrase? Or, for that matter, the words "boiled-peanut beurre blanc"? Such is the beauty of melding Southern and French techniques. And who better to teach us a thing or two about fresh takes on Southern food than a Canadian, happily assimilated in Georgia? Hugh Acheson says that any medium-bodied fish will work with the sauce. We believe it to be delicious with flounder.

Steps:
- Stir together the shallots, vinegar, and wine in a medium saucepan. Toss in the herb bouquet and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the mixture reduces by half. Reduce the heat to low. Discard the bouquet and peppercorns.
- Slowly add the butter, one cube at a time, madly whisking all the time, until all of the butter has been incorporated. Whisk in the gremolata and boiled peanuts. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at once or keep the sauce warm in a bain-marie (fancy French for hot-water bath).
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality peanuts for the best flavor.
- Soak the peanuts overnight or for at least 8 hours before boiling.
- Use a large pot to boil the peanuts, as they will expand during cooking.
- Add salt to the boiling water to help flavor the peanuts.
- Cook the peanuts until they are tender, but not mushy. This usually takes about 2 hours.
- Drain the peanuts and let them cool slightly before peeling and chopping them.
- For the beurre blanc sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the saucepan and cook until softened.
- Add the white wine and reduce it by half.
- Add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
- Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is thick and creamy.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
