Properly prepared cream-based sauces are a wonderful addition to almost any meal. The cream gives the sauce, thanks to its fat content, a pleasant thickness, richness and tenderness. Making a delicious creamy sauce isn't too difficult.
It is necessary
-
- 200 ml cream 20%;
- 20 grams of butter;
- 1 tablespoon flour;
- dill greens;
- salt
- pepper to taste;
- 1-2 cloves of garlic;
- 750 gr of fresh champignons;
- 300 gr smoked ham;
- 4 egg yolks;
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 75 gr of hard cheese.
Instructions
Step 1
There are many variations of cream sauce. A novice cook should start with the simplest classic recipe. Fry the sifted flour in a preheated skillet, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Add a lump of butter and mix well. Pour the cream into the pan, stir again and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, cool the cooked mass and place in a saucepan. If the sauce is too runny, you can thicken it with cornstarch. In a bowl, mix half a teaspoon of starch with a few drops of water and add to the hot sauce. Then simmer it for about 10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. The cream sauce does not need to be boiled for a long time, and it is also not recommended to reheat it, as the cream can stratify.
Step 2
Creamy Spaghetti Sauce Heat the butter in a small saucepan, add the garlic and simmer for one minute. Add the finely diced ham and cook for another 5 minutes. Whisk the cream and yolks in a bowl, add this mixture to the ham and garlic and put on the smallest heat for three minutes so that the eggs do not begin to coagulate. Then remove the pan from the stove, add the grated cheese, herbs and stir. This creamy spaghetti sauce should be served immediately, pouring into the hot pasta. You can add some blue cheese to add spice to the dish. Fried chicken pieces can be used instead of ham.
Step 3
Creamy Mushroom Sauce Peel and wash the mushrooms, cut them into thin slices. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil, add mushrooms and fry until golden brown. Add soy sauce and low fat cream. Stir everything and cook over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. This sauce should also be served hot. It goes well with vegetable, meat and pasta dishes.
