Blue Cheese Sauce Recipe
Sauce au Roquefort
This is a very simple blue cheese sauce recipe that you can whip up as you are grilling steaks.
I use Roquefort cheese because it is readily
available here in France. You may wish to substitute another blue cheese. Be sure to pick one that is crumbly, soft,
and dissolves easily in your mouth for good results with this recipe. Gorganzola would work.
Since I like to skip meat, I make baked potatoes to go with the steaks I usually serve with this sauce. A baked
potato with blue cheese sauce makes a very satisfying meal for vegetarians.
Sauce au Roquefort
2 shallots, chopped finely
4 tablespoons butter
6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cook the shallots in the butter until soft, about 7 or 8 minutes. Don't brown them. Mix in the blue cheese using a fork to smash it into the butter and eventually form a smooth paste. Add the heavy
cream and mix well. Heat to just below boiling. Stir in pepper and serve warm.
