Remarks
Kervallon is an area of the city of Brest (France), which in the late 18th century was a market garden where many vegetables were grown. Today, it's a very pleasant area, partly wooded, and home to numerous allotments.

If in step 8 you still can't obtain a homogeneous mixture after blending, add 2 tablespoons of cornflour diluted in a little cold water and thicken by whisking over the heat.
Keeping: 2 or 3 days in the fridge, in a closed container.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking
Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
