Ingredients :
• 1/3 liter of beef or game stock
• 125 g Bleu or Roquefort cheese
• 50 g butter
• 10 cl fresh cream
• 1 onion
• 20 tarragon leaves
• 1 bundle of parsley, bay leaves and thyme
• salt and pepper
Comments:
• A great sauce, that because of the diversity of the blue cheeses
can be made with the Bleu des Causses, Roquefort, Bleu de Lacqueuille, Bleu
de Gex or Bleu d’Auvergne.
• For the sauce au Bleu to develop all its character it should be served
hot, either directly over the meat or in a sauce bowl.
• Ideal for all red meats, veal or baked potatoes.
• Our suggestion for the ideal wine is a Bordeaux Saint-Estephe.
