This is a classic French fish sauce made from a roux base with court bouillon that's enriched with egg yolks and anchovy essence.

Ingredients:

22g plain flour
75g butter
300ml simple court bouillon, hot
2 egg yolks, beaten with 1 tbsp cream
1 tsp anchovy essence
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Melt 25g of the butter in a pan, scatter the flour over the top then stir in to form a smooth roux. Take off the heat and pour in the hot court bouillon, whisking vigourously to combine. Return to the heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Immediately take off the heat once again then whisk in the remaining butter. Now beat together the egg yolks and cream until smooth. Add 1 ladle of the hot sauce and whisk to combine before pouring the egg mixture into the saucepan. Whisk again to combine then add the anchovy essence. Season lightly, to taste, then serve.
