Carol Jancsi's luxurious Jalapeño White Sauce, 'stolen' from The Brigantine Restaurant, combines rich whipping cream and sour cream with the perfect kick of jalapeño heat. Thickened with a roux and enhanced with chicken base, this versatile sauce can be served as an elegant dip with tortilla chips or elevate chicken and cheese enchiladas to restaurant quality. The balanced flavors of creamy richness and pepper heat create an addictive condiment that will become your secret weapon in the kitchen.

Ingredients
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp chicken base
2 Tbsp. clarified butter
1 Tbsp. flour
1 jalapeño, minced (I use about 1 Tbsp. canned jalapeños. I drain the liquid for the juice needed for the recipe.)
1 Tbsp. juice from canned jalapeños
2 oz. shredded cheese- equal parts jack and cheddar
Directions
Heat whipping cream in heavy saucepan over high heat.
When the cream is ready to boil, stir in sour cream.
After sour cream dissolves, reduce heat to medium.
Stir in chicken base and jalapeño juice and simmer.
While cream is heating:
Make a roux by warming butter in a saucepan over medium heat, adding flour, and mixing with a wire whip until mixture starts to turn pale gold.
Just before cream mixture is ready to boil again, add roux, whisking briskly and constantly until roux is incorporated. Remove from heat.
Stir in minced jalapeño and cheese mixture.
Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
This sauce is excellent served warm as a dip with tortilla chips.
It can also be used as the sauce for chicken or cheese enchiladas
