Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the paprika, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook the sauce for another 3-5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve warm over seafood, steak, chicken, or your dish of choice.
