Arteflame Supreme Sauce Recipe

Introduction

Supreme Sauce is a rich and velvety French sauce that builds upon a base of velouté and cream, creating the perfect accompaniment for grilled chicken, turkey, or vegetables. Cooking it on the Arteflame grill adds a subtle smoky depth to this classic sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken velouté sauce (see Arteflame Velouté Recipe)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• Salt and freshly ground white pepper (to taste)
• Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice or dry white wine for brightness

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Light your Arteflame grill by placing vegetable oil-soaked napkins under firewood and lighting them. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes.
2. Place a cast-iron skillet on the cooler edge of the flat cooktop for even, gentle cooking.

Step 2: Warm the Velouté Sauce

1. Pour the chicken velouté sauce into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer on the cooler side of the Arteflame grill.
2. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the skillet.

Step 3: Add the Cream

1. Gradually stir in the heavy cream, mixing until fully incorporated.
2. Move the skillet to a slightly warmer zone on the cooktop and let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 4: Finish with Butter and Seasoning

1. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the unsalted butter to add richness and a silky texture.
2. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste.
3. Optional: Stir in lemon juice or a splash of dry white wine for a touch of brightness.

Step 5: Serve

1. Strain the Supreme Sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for an ultra-smooth texture, if desired.
2. Serve warm over grilled chicken, turkey, or vegetables, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if desired.

Tips

• Velouté Quality: Ensure your velouté sauce is smooth and flavorful, as it forms the foundation of the Supreme Sauce.
• Control the Heat: Keep the sauce on low heat to prevent the cream from curdling.
• Consistency: Adjust the thickness by simmering longer or adding a splash of stock if the sauce becomes too thick.

Variations

1. Mushroom Supreme Sauce: Add finely sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist.
2. Herb-Infused Supreme Sauce: Stir in fresh thyme, tarragon, or parsley for aromatic depth.
3. Garlic Supreme Sauce: Incorporate roasted garlic for bold, savory flavor.
4. Wine-Enhanced Supreme Sauce: Use white wine instead of lemon juice for a more pronounced acidic note.
5. Vegetarian Supreme Sauce: Use vegetable velouté for a vegetarian-friendly version.

Pairings

• Grilled Poultry: Drizzle over grilled chicken breasts, turkey thighs, or Cornish hens.
• Vegetables: Pair with grilled asparagus, zucchini, or roasted potatoes.
• Seafood: Serve with grilled white fish or shrimp for a luxurious touch.
• Pasta: Toss with fettuccine or linguine for a creamy, indulgent pasta dish.

Conclusion

Supreme Sauce prepared on the Arteflame grill brings a smoky, creamy elegance to your grilled dishes. Whether served with poultry, seafood, or vegetables, this French classic will elevate your meal to gourmet status.
