Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (finely chopped) shallot
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 60 milliliters whiskey
- 120 milliliters coconut cream
- 120 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Carefully add the whiskey to the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the coconut cream, vegetable broth, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Let the mixture simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or a touch more maple syrup for sweetness, depending on your preference.
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving. It pairs beautifully with grilled dishes or plant-based proteins.
