Servings 20 dishes
Ingredients
The castric
- 700 g white wine
- 200 g white wine vinegar
- 18 black pepper grains
- 26 coriander seeds
- 3 sprigs tarragon
- 4 shallots
- 20 magnolia flowers
The magnolia beurre blanc
- 100 g magnolia castric
- 20 g cream 35% fat
- 5 g salt
- 200 g cold cubes of butter
Instructions
The castric
- Pour the white wine into a big pan and also add the white wine vinegar, the black pepper grains, the coriander seeds and the tarragon.
- Then cut the shallots in half and clean them. Now cut them. Add them to the pan and then reduce it for 80%.
- Meanwhile remove the stem from the magnolia flowers. These have a delicious fresh and aromatic flavor.
- Once the liquid has reduced enough turn off the heat and add the flowers. Mix it well and then transfer everything into a bowl. Now cover this well with some foil and let it cool down in your fridge. I always leave it overnight.
- Once it has cooled down pass it through a fine sieve and use a ladle to make it a bit easier.
The magnolia beurre blanc
- Pour the magnolia castric into a saucepan and also add the cream and the salt. Bring this to a boil.
- Once it’s boiling turn down the heat and slowly while stirring add the cold cubes of butter.
- Normally there’s no cream in a beurre blanc, but I add it to stabilize the sauce making it more foolproof when you need to reheat it.Â
