Caper Sauce

7 ingredients
2 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 1 cup beef stock or 1 cup lamb stock, depending on the food with which it is to be served
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained (and cut into halves if large)
  • 2 teaspoons malt vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    In a heavy 8 to 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, stir in the flour and mix thoroughly. Pour in the stock and, stirring constantly with a whisk, cook over high heat until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
  2. 2
    Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 3 minutes to remove any taste of raw flour. Then stir in the capers, vinegar, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Taste for seasoning and serve hot from a small bowl or a sauceboat.
