Gordon Ramsay's Grapefruit Hollandaise

1 serving

35 minutes

Hollandaise sauce is an exquisite sauce with a rich history that perfectly complements haute cuisine dishes. In this version by Gordon Ramsay, the classic recipe is enriched with fresh grapefruit juice and zest, adding a touch of citrus freshness. The grapefruit juice softens the oily texture, giving the sauce lightness and a subtle balance of acidity and spices. Whisked egg yolks over a water bath combine with coriander and butter to create a smooth, velvety consistency. This sauce pairs wonderfully with delicate fish or vegetable dishes, adding sophistication and depth of flavor. The taste of the sauce is a harmony of creamy softness, piquant spices, and refreshing citrus notes that create gastronomic pleasure.
