Details
Preparation
Step 1
Open a bottle of nice white wine - pour a glass.
Peel 4 large garlic cloves; in a small pot or skillet, cover the garlic cloves with water; bring to boil and simmer until garlic is soft. Drain.
(Enjoy the wine while the garlic is simmering.)
On a cutting board, mash the soft garlic cloves. Mash some capers (1 tsp) into garlic paste. Mash in some minced Italian parsley (1 tsp). If you want, peel some of the zest off the lemon - mince & add to the garlic mash. You can add a couple of fennel seeds if you like. All this can be down while having a glass of wine.
Heat about 1/4 cup of wine in a sauce pan and reduce by about half (to burn off the alcohol). Stir in the garlic mash and a few drops of lemon juice. Vigorously whip in about 2 to 3 tblsp of butter. Add a pinch of salt & pepper.
Serve immediately - the sauce will break if you hold it too long.
Continue to enjoy wine.
If sauce doesn't come out perfectly, continue to enjoy wine.
