There is no set recipe for Allemande sauce, as it can vary depending on the chef. However, it is generally made with a roux, chicken stock, and cream, and can also include lemon juice, parsley, and tarragon.

 1 quart veal (or chicken) velouté
 2 egg yolks
 ½ cup heavy cream
 5 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
 to taste
 pepper to taste
1

Place the veloute in a saucepan and bring to a simmer; reduce very slightly.

2

Beat the yolks and cream together in a stainless steel bowl. Temper the liaison by slowly adding a small amount of the hot veloute; repeat until you've incorporated about a third of the sauce into the liaison. Slowly stir the liaison back into the pan.

3

Reheat to a very low simmer. Do not bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Strain through cheesecloth.
