TROPICAL BEURRE BLANC:

1. Start by simmering shallots with a little bit of oil on a low temperature, once the shallots start caramelizing we proceed to add a pinch of thyme and add half of the mango ( diced ) and half of the papaya ( diced ) and the wine.
2. Add the cream and mix well. Remove from the heat and pour into a blender. Blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. You want the sauce to thicken a little so we add the butter until the desire texture but no letting it boil.
