Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Lobster or seafood stock
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until completely liquefied but not browned.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, but do not allow it to brown.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the lobster or seafood stock, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Stir in the dry white wine and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off and the sauce reduce slightly.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the velouté is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Season with salt and white pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Use the velouté immediately as a sauce for lobster enchiladas or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of stock or cream if needed to restore consistency.
