Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in saucepan and add pureed shallots and onion plus minced garlic. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute without browning. Add court-bouillon and cook 2 minutes. Add hashed tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf and cook, stirring, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Step 2

    In separate saucepan blend water and lemon juice. Bring to boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half. Add butter quickly, slice at a time, stirring rapidly with wire whisk. When all butter is melted, continue cooking, stirring rapidly with whisk, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    To tomato sauce add chives, basil, chervil and tarragon. Stir in butter sauce.

Tip
  • To finely chop or pulverize bay leaves, first cut away and discard the tough stem running down the center. You may break up the leaves and put them in a small spice grinder and pulverize them as finely as possible or you may place the leaves on a flat chopping surface and chop them finely with a sharp knife.

Had to try this and it did not disappoint. Wonderfully balanced. All in, took about an hour, three pans, and the food processor. Order of operations is: court bouillon, shallot puree, hashed tomatoes, final sauce.
