CHICKEN IN GARLIC WHITE WINE CREAM SAUCE
I have had chicken in white wine cream sauce at a local restaurant and found it was probably my favorite chicken dish. I have searched in vain for a recipe that would include all the ingredients I now only vaguely remember. So, in desperation, I found a basic recipe and have adapted it. I have made this a few times and found it very close to what I remember. The only missing ingredient is cheese. I have yet to remember what cheese was used (other than it was a white cheese). Eventually I will experiment with adding cheese, but for now I am really pleased with this version. I hope you like it too.

- Whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow. Slowly whisk in some of the warm half-and-half mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. Do not boil. Remove from the heat, add the white chocolate and whisk until smooth. Strain into a bowl, cover, and chill until cold.

Strain the cream into a chilled bowl, add the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar and vanilla and whip to soft peaks.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the dry ends off the asparagus. If necessary, peel the fibrous exterior of the bottom half of each spear. Cut the top 3 1/2 inches of each stalk and set aside. Using a sharp knife, very finely julienne two or three of the stalk bottoms (reserve the rest for another use) and place in a small bowl. Add the chives, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- On a sheet of heavy-duty or a double layer of aluminum foil, place the asparagus tips standing up and crimp the foil around them at the bottom so that they remain standing. Add the butter on top of the spears, and continue to crimp the foil closely around the spears, sealing it closed at the top. Place in the oven and roast until barely tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the cashew cream.
- In a food processor, pulse the cashews into a fine powder; be careful not to over-process and turn into a paste. Place 2/3 of the ground cashews into a small saucepan; set aside the remainder for garnish. Add the milk to the pan, with 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil and immediately turn off heat. Mix well; set aside.
- When the asparagus is ready, open the packet and baste it with the juices from the bottom of the foil. On each of 4 small plates, arrange a spoonful of cashew cream and top with two asparagus tips. Place the asparagus julienne on the side and garnish with crushed cashews.

MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS AND APPLES IN WHITE WINE AND CREAM SAUCE
This main dish is fast enough for a weeknight, but "fancy" enough for guests! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are quickly browned, then simmered with apples and onions in a flavorful liquid. Simply remove the apples and onions at the end, let the liquid reduce, add a little cream, and voila, there is a beautiful sauce! We enjoyed this recipe with white rice, steamed broccoli, and a crusty baguette.

CHOCOLATE PASTA WITH CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CREAM SAUCE, WHITE CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS AND FRESH BERRIES
Steps:
- For the pasta: Sift together the flour, cocoa and sugar. Add a pinch salt and mound the flour mixture in a large bowl or on a clean work surface. Hollow out the center, making a well in the middle of the flour with steep sides. Break the eggs into the well. Add the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Gently mix together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour by pulling in the flour from the sides of the well. As you incorporate more of the flour, the dough will start to take shape. Once it gets thick, you can use a spatula to incorporate the rest of the flour.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little water. If the dough is too wet or sticky, add a little flour. Once the dough comes together, knead the dough on a clean work surface until it becomes smooth, about 8 minutes. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Divide your rested dough into quarters and work with one piece at a time, covering your other pieces to keep them moist. Flour each piece lightly, shape it into a rectangular shape and put it through a pasta sheeter attachment, starting at the widest setting. Run the dough once through the largest setting, fold it into thirds and run it through one more time. Then run the pasta through the sheeting attachment once on every number, stopping at 5 or 6, depending on how thick you would like it. Lightly flour the rolled out pasta sheet and fold in half. Take your chef knife and cut ribbons about a 1/2-inch thick, then unravel the pasta ribbons and place on a floured baking sheet to keep from sticking.
- For the sauce: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and stir in the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Add a pinch salt and continue whisking until the sauce is creamy. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Cook the chocolate pasta in a large pot of boiling water, 3 minutes. Immediately remove the pasta from the water and toss gently with the sauce and a little of the pasta cooking water to help with the consistency.
- Mound the pasta and sauce on dessert plates and garnish with the fresh berries, a dollop of creme fraiche, white chocolate shavings and skinless toasted chopped hazelnuts, to garnish.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PASSION FRUIT TURNOVERS WITH BLUEBERRY-MINT SAUCE AND COCONUT CREAM
Categories Milk/Cream Food Processor Berry Chocolate Dairy Fruit Herb Dessert Blueberry Coconut Mint Passion Fruit Vegetarian Pescatarian Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher
Yield Makes 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- Make the white chocolate passion fruit turnovers:
- In a dry metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the white chocolate. Remove from the heat and add the passion fruit pulp, heavy cream, and salt and stir to combine. Slowly and carefully add the egg yolks, stirring to combine. Place the bowl over the pan of barely simmering water and heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from the heat, cover, and chill.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Once the white chocolate filling is completely cold, make the turnovers: Arrange the puff pastry rounds on a work surface and fold each one in half. Fill the turnovers with the chilled white chocolate filling and crimp the edges to seal them closed. (Brush the edges of the pastry with water, if necessary, to seal the turnovers.) Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake, flipping them over about halfway through the baking time, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Make the blueberry-mint sauce:
- In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, combine the blueberries, pineapple, water, lemon juice, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor, add the mint, and process until smooth. Pour the purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. If the sauce is very thin, place it in a medium saucepan and simmer until it's reduced to the desired consistency.
- Make the coconut cream:
- In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar and whip until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold in the coconut and cinnamon.
- To serve:
- Arrange 2 turnovers on each of 4 plates, drizzle with the blueberry-mint sauce, and top each with a generous dollop of coconut cream.
FRIED SHRIMP IN WHITE WINE CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Pour enough olive oil in a large sauce pan to cover the bottom, turn to medium high heat. This is the only pot you'll need for the sauce so it should be big. I like to use an iron kettle. Soak the shrimp in milk and combine the dry ingredients (flour, cheese, salt, pepper). Coat the shrimp with the dry ingredients and let them fry in the olive oil, maybe 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Between batches of shrimp vigorously mix the oil and flour (whatever falls off the shrimp, this will add great flavour and consistency to the sauce). Add more oil as necessary. Dab the shrimp with a paper towel and put aside. Add the onions to the oil, stir for a few minutes, then add the garlic and turn the heat to medium low. Let the flavors mix for a few more minutes before adding the mushrooms. After a few more minutes add the zucchini. Taste the food and spice accordingly, you'll defiantly need some salt. Now add the wine and bring it to a boil. Then turn the heat to low and cover, let the wine reduce, maybe 10-15 minutes. Add the cream, and bring it back to a boil, turn heat to low and simmer for 10 more minutes. Now add the fried shrimp, parsley and parmesan cheese. The sauce will harden some as it cools. Slowly add your cooked pasta until you have the right sauce to noodle ratio.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and dairy products whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Sauce: White cream sauces are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook the sauce over medium heat and stir constantly until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season to Taste: Every palate is different, so season the sauce to your liking. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and add more to taste.
- Use a Variety of Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular additions to white cream sauces include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg.
- Serve Immediately: White cream sauces are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to store the sauce, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
White cream sauces are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal. They can be used to dress up pasta, vegetables, meat, and fish. With a few simple tips, you can make a white cream sauce that is both flavorful and creamy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to elevate your meal, try making a white cream sauce.
