Creamy Walnut Sauce
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1½ cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- salt to taste
Instructions:
This rich and nutty sauce makes everything from roasted vegetables to chicken more interesting.
- Sauté walnuts and shallot in butter until walnuts are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of cream or coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer for five minutes.
- Pour the walnuts and cream in a blender and purée until as smooth as possible. Add salt to taste.
- This yields a fairly thick sauce. Add the additional ½ cup of cream or coconut milk to thin out if desired. I f you want the sauce to be silky smooth, push the puréed sauce through a fine mesh sieve so the nut solids are separated out.
