Normande Sauce Recipe

How to Make Restaurant Quality Normande Sauce

Normandy is a coastal region of north-west France, just south of the English Channel. Normandy is a gastronomic paradise. A marriage made in heaven of the rich bounties of the land and the sea.

The two most archetypal ingredients of Norman cuisine are apples and dairy products. Normandy’s cows produce unctuous cream and butter.

This sauce, which incorporates both, is quite versatile and can be used as the base for many other sauces. Best served with fish and shellfish.

Note: To prepare this recipe, you’ll need to prepare Velouté sauce.
