Recipe Notes
Creamy Garlic Peppercorn Sauce Storage Instructions
This delicious sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Still, unfortunately, it’s not recommended to be frozen as the sauce will have a high risk of splitting upon reheating from frozen as the water particles will separate from the oils and fats and break the emulsion.
Creamy Garlic Peppercorn Sauce Reheating Instructions
Due to this being a cream-based sauce, you have to be very gentle and careful when reheating to prevent the sauce from splitting. Place the sauce in a pan over medium heat, gently heat, and stir until hot throughout, adding a splash of cream to freshen it up. Don’t microwave. The inconsistent and harsh heat will split the sauce.
Substitutes & Enhancements
- If you can’t consume alcohol, you can substitute the brandy for vegetable or chicken stock with no further changes to the recipe.
- Increase the number of green peppercorns to 30g (1.06oz) to make a more robust, more peppery-flavoured sauce.
