Preparation
Step 1
Melt the butter in a pan and then add the shredded sorrel. Cook 4 to 5 minutes and set aside.
Place egg yolks and ½ cup cold chicken stock in a saucepan and cook on very low heat, beating constantly with a wire whisk for about 6 to 7 minutes. The mixture should have the consistency of a light mayonnaise and should never get so hot that you cannot hold your finger in the mixture. When the sabayon is cooked, you should be able to see the bottom of the saucepan between the strokes of the whisk.
Bring the remaining stock to a boil in a separate pan. Mix the cream (cold) with the sabayon and add to the hot stock. Place back on the stove on medium heat and cook just enough for the mixture to coat a spoon, about 170° to 180° on a thermometer. Strain through a fine sieve or a towel, add the sorrel mixture and cool in refrigerator until very cold.
Serve sprinkled with the fresh chervil.
