Cooking Notes
Do you have to buy an entire pint of heavy cream for 2 tablespoons? I don't use cream. Is there a substitute? (I know, the French love cream.) I am a 1% milk person.
A tiny amount of plain yogurt 1%.
This splendid sauce was originally designed to accompany a recipe of paupiettes of sole stuffed with mushrooms and spinach. It is delicious there and on other seafood recipes as well .
Amazing on broiled swordfish = Pierre Franey classic
Would help to have some ideas on how to use the sauce... for some of us lay people/new cooks....
