Spices/Sauces/Rubs


2 egg yolks
Juice of 1 small lemon or start with 1/2 a large lemon (not you may want to add some more, but that's a good starting point)
1 1/3 sticks butter
Dash of kosher salt
Cayenne pepper, as needed
3/4 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 3/4 teaspoon dried tarragon

Melt the butter and remove from the heat.

Add the salt/cayenne/tarragon and a little pepper to the butter as its cooling. Wait till cooled to continue.

Add the egg yolks to a blender or a food processor and blend. Add the lemon juice and blend for several seconds. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Turn off the blender, add in a little salt and cayenne and whip it again until combined. Check the lemon juice, if you need more add a little, less is better to start with, you can add but you can't take it out.

Excellent
