Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 banana shallot, finely chopped (or ½ small onion)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 150 ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp) double (heavy) cream
- 125 g (4½ oz) Stilton, crumbled or chopped (or use Gorgonzola for a milder flavor)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat, creating a rich foundation for the sauce.
- Sauté shallots: Add the finely chopped banana shallot to the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant, developing flavor.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma without burning it.
- Add cream and cheese: Pour in the double cream and add the crumbled Stilton cheese. Reduce the heat to low and stir continuously for about 5 minutes, breaking down the cheese with the back of your spoon to achieve a smooth, thickened sauce.
- Season the sauce: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and freshly ground black pepper to enhance depth and balance the sharpness of the blue cheese.
- Final simmer: Serve immediately, or let the sauce simmer gently on low for a few more minutes to thicken further, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Use Stilton for a traditional sharp flavor, or substitute with Gorgonzola for a milder taste.
- The sauce pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
- For a smoother consistency, you can strain the sauce before serving.
- Keep the heat low when melting the cheese to prevent separation or curdling.
