Default 9 Quick-and-Easy 2-Ingredient Sauces


I use some of these ideas already, some I've known about but have not
tried yet (like oven roasting canned tomatoes) and others are a stroke
of genius that never occurred to me but I'm eager to try (like whole
Meyer lemon + olive oil and yogurt + store bought pesto).
http://www.epicurious.com/expert-adv...sauces-article

Call this the Mother List: 9 sauces you can pull together on any
weeknight. A few things that we're not counting as ingredients he
water, salt, and pepper. You'll turn to water again and again when
making simple sauce in order to thin out thicker ingredients. Salt and
pepper are givens—season everything to taste.

BROWN BUTTER + SAGE
This tried and true combination works alongside everything from filled
ravioli to chicken breasts. Grab a few tablespoons of butter (one per
person served is a good rule of thumb) and heat it in a skillet over
medium-high heat until the butter begins to brown, about 4 minutes.
(Keep a close eye on it—the butter can turn from fragrant brown to
ruined black in a matter of seconds.) Stir a few pieces of
thinly-sliced fresh sage and you're done.

OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES + GARLIC
Add another dimension of flavor to tomato sauce by roasting the
tomatoes and garlic cloves in the oven. Or, as associate food editor
Anna Stockwell puts it "the easiest, best tomato sauce ever." Use
canned, whole peeled tomatoes and cook in a 425 degree oven for 35-40
minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and jammy. Purée the roasted
results in a blender and add to every weeknight pasta dish.

TAHINI + MISO PASTE
"I use tahini as a base for almost all of my salad dressings," says
assistant food editor Katherine Sacks. The combination is creamy,
nutty, and salty. In order to turn these two thick pastes into
anything resembling a sauce you'll need add a fair amount of water to
get things to a saucy consistency.

PAN DRIPPINGS + WINE
Roasting chicken, beef, or any other protein that releases deliciously
fatty juices? Don't throw out that fat when it's done—you're one
ingredient away from an awesome sauce. Pour off all but a couple of
tablespoons of fat and combine with a half cup of dry red wine over
medium-high heat until it most of the wine cooks off and the sauce has
reduced to your desired consistency. Did you accidentally over-reduce,
resulting in a thicker sauce than you envisioned? No problem, just add
a couple of tablespoons of water to thin things out.

WHOLE MEYER LEMON + OLIVE OIL
Yep, a whole Meyer lemon. No need to peel the thing. Just drop it into
a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix) and slowly add in olive oil
until the sauce begins to hold together, about a 1/4 cup for each
lemon. The result is a bright sauce that packs an incredible balance
between sweet and acidic. It pairs especially well with seared fish,
pan-fried vegetables, and other light dishes.

YOGURT + STORE-BOUGHT PESTO
Think of this as a spin on green goddess dressing. "I mean, what
wouldn't you put it on?" asks Sacks. Pairing the stuff with
vegetables? Serve it thick with crudités. Cooking steak? Use it as an
herbed butter alternative.

SOY SAUCE + SRIRACHA
What happens when you combine salty soy sauce with America's favorite
Asian hot condiment (for now)? A slightly-sweet, slightly-spicy take
on soy sauce. The amount of sriracha you use will determine how thick
the sauce is—go thinner if you want to use the mixture as a dipping
sauce for thinly sliced meat or vegetables.

ANY FRUIT + SUGAR
Making a coulis sounds fancy and impressive—until you find out it's
nothing more than fruit and sugar. In summertime, you'll want to use
fresh berries from the market. But during the rest of the year, you
can pretend it's July with the frozen stuff. Combine one 10-ounce
package of frozen fruit (or the equivalent amount of fresh berries)
with 2 tablespoons sugar. Purée in a blender or food process and pour
the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids.

WHIPPED CREAM + LEMON CURD
Top anything with whipped cream and we're happy. But fold in a few
tablespoons of store-bought lemon curd to that whipped cream? Sweet,
tangy ecstasy.

Oh yes, simple and so savory!

Sounds like a perfect marriage.

And Vermouth works well also.

Have not tried, but will.

I'm wondering here is a preserved (salted) lemon might also be nice,
perhaps some Mirin to balance?

Makes perfect sense.
