Servings 20 dishes

Ingredients

The castric

  • 700 g white wine
  • 200 g white wine vinegar
  • 18 black pepper grains
  • 26 coriander seeds
  • 3 sprigs tarragon
  • 4 shallots
  • 20 magnolia flowers

The magnolia beurre blanc

  • 100 g magnolia castric
  • 20 g cream 35% fat
  • 5 g salt
  • 200 g cold cubes of butter

Instructions

The castric

  • Pour the white wine into a big pan and also add the white wine vinegar, the black pepper grains, the coriander seeds and the tarragon.
  • Then cut the shallots in half and clean them. Now cut them. Add them to the pan and then reduce it for 80%.
  • Meanwhile remove the stem from the magnolia flowers. These have a delicious fresh and aromatic flavor.
  • Once the liquid has reduced enough turn off the heat and add the flowers. Mix it well and then transfer everything into a bowl. Now cover this well with some foil and let it cool down in your fridge. I always leave it overnight.
  • Once it has cooled down pass it through a fine sieve and use a ladle to make it a bit easier.

The magnolia beurre blanc

  • Pour the magnolia castric into a saucepan and also add the cream and the salt. Bring this to a boil.
  • Once it’s boiling turn down the heat and slowly while stirring add the cold cubes of butter.
  • Normally there’s no cream in a beurre blanc, but I add it to stabilize the sauce making it more foolproof when you need to reheat it.
