Creamy bacon & leek sauce.

[Meg888]

Hi.

I had the above in a restaurant with pork medalliions; there was also a smidge of brandy in it. I've looked up the recipe on google and can't find it. I've found something similar, but they all state to use flour, whereas I'd rather use cream. Can anyone advise the best way to do it?

thank in advance

I`d probably just saute the bacon and leek in oil (butter would be nicer though). I`d add a bit of stock from a cube (either vegetable or chicken) and mix in some half fat cream fraiche with a dash of brandy and a teaspoon of dijon mustard.

I found this recipe, just substitue the creme fraiche with cream.

Just about to say the same as 237 but put the brandy in before the stock - and deffo use creme fraiche, as it doesn't split.

Sorry forgot to mention, I'm not that keen on creme fraiche; I don't mind mixing it with another cream, but I don't like it on it's own. Calories are not being counted in this instance as it's a one off!!

PS if not using creme fraiche, would you substitute it with soured/single or double?

thanks again
