Ingredients

  • 1 cup  white wine
  • 4 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 6 Tablespoons  shallots  minced (about 2 large)
  • pinch  saffron about 7 or 8 threads
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • Combine white wine, shallots, saffron threads, and vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer on a medium heat until reduced by about 1/2. There will be hardly any liquid left.
  • Slowly whisk in butter a little at a time on the lowest heat until blended. Now, you'll see it turning into a sauce!
  • Season with kosher salt.
  • Strain the sauce through a fine strainer onto the scallops.
  • Make ahead tip. You can have the reduction ready, and while you are searing your scallops, you can begin to finish your Saffron Beurre Blanc.
