French Soubise Onion and Cream Sauce
Just arrived in the Spice Shop
Beautifully blended natural Chilli Spice Seasoning
To Buy go to:SPICES
3 x Medium Onions, finely sliced
21/2 x Tablespoons unsalted butter
11/2 x Cups full cream
1/2 x Teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 x Teaspoon white pepper - black pepper would work
1 x Tablespoon chives - finely diced
Melt the butter in a heavy based saucepan until foaming but do not allow to brown.
Then add the onions and cook down until lightly caramelised. Add a little salt and the pepper, as you choose. Then add the cream and sweet paprika and stir over a simmer for 5 minutes.
Next, using a stick blender on low, blend to give a nice smooth sauce
Important: Take care not to brown the onions. They need to be white and translucent before adding to the blender.
Comments: To be true to the original recipe, use a Bechamel Sauce in place of cream, however, we found the full cream works well.
