Maltese Sauce (Malteser Sosse)

1/2 blood orange or reg. ogange
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 tablespoon chicken stock
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 cup butter, cut in small pieces
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 salt 1 white pepper
5 tablespoon fresh whipped cream *

* 3 to 5 tablespoons of REAL whipped cream...NO substitutes.
This sauce needs to be made with extra care. Cut peel from half the orange, removing only the colored portion. Cut peel into fine narrow strips. Blanch peel briefly in boiling water, if desired. Finely chop peel, if desired; set aside. Juice orange; set aside. In a small skillet, simmer green onion 5 minutes over low heat in wine, vinegar and stock. Strain well, discarding green onion; cool slightly. Place egg yolks and wine mixture in a small enamel-lined saucepan. Place over hot water or use a double-boiler. Water should be barely simmering at any time. If mixture is over heated it will curdle and must be remade from new ingredients. Add butter, one piece at a time, mixing well and making sure each piece is fully incorporated before adding the next. If desired use a whisk to beat butter into yolk mixture. When all butter has been added, sauce should be fairly thick and creamy. Add lemon juice, salt, white pepper, balnched orange peel and juice. Fold in whipped cream before serving. Serve immediately to prevent sauce from seperating. This sauce is delicious with delicate fish or vegetable dishes, such as asparagus. It is also very good with broiled meat. Makes 4 servings.

1 teaspoon tomato puree

Put the chopped ginger and garlic in a blender with about 1/2 a pint of the water and blend until smooth.
Take a large saucepan and put in the onions, blended garlic and ginger and the rest of the water.
Add the salt and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to very low ans simmer with the lid on for 40-45 minutes.
Leave to cool
Stage 2 Once cooled, pour about half of the boiled onion mixture into a blender and blend until perfectly smooth. (at least 2 minutes). Pour the blended onion mixture into a clean pan or bowl and repeat with the other half of the boiled onions.
Wash and dry the saucepan. Reserve about 4 tablespoons of the sauce at this stage to use in cooking the meat in your chosen curry.
Stage 3 Pour the can of tomatoes into the rinsed blender and blend until perfectly smooth (about 2 minutes).
Into the clean saucepan, put the oil, tomato puree, turmeric and paprica.
Add the blended tomatoes and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add the onion mixture to the saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer.
When froth rises skim this off.
