Help...Basil Cream Sauce

Hi, it was large Marge I think. I did it the other night and it was great! I only had my small 1 cup processor at home, my large one was at the studio. I put to much in and made a mess! LOL But i added the cream when i had it all in the pot. Julie

Yes just tossed it all in and blended till fine. then poured in th epan and added the cream. then i think it was butter and lemon? we had asparagus with the salmon and it was delish on that too. a straw would be fine too :unsure:

mine looked a little chunkier. not as smooth. but very good I will keep this one on file to use on other things too.

here you go::

Found this in Raichlen's BBQ Bible. Added asparagus and a sweet potato...

1 The sauce:
2 -Puree 20 fresh basil leaves, 1/3 cup white wine (I used a Pinot Gris and drank it over dinner), and 2 cloves garlic.
3 -Xfr puree to a small heavy saucepan and stir in 1c. cream, heat to simmer, reduce by 1/2 , takes about 15 mins.
4 Whisk in 1tbs lemon juice and 2tbs unsalted butter. Remove from heat and cover.
5 The salmon:
6 - Marinated for 15 mins (while making sauce) with 2tbs lemon juice and 2tbs EVOO, salt and pepper. Once sauce was done, grilled 3-4 mins per side.

Not quite the same thing, but here's an option for dessert to go with it. My wife made this last week, and it was really tasty...

Enjoy!
