Lemon Butter Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chopped shallots
• 6 medium-size lemons, skin and pith removed and quartered
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the shallots, lemons, wine, salt, and cayenne over medium heat, bring to a gentle boil, and cook until as thick as syrup. Add the cream and cook, stirring a few times for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until all is incorporated. Add the hot sauce and Worcestershire and whisk to blend. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and keep hot.
