Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 medium Shallots
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Dry Marsala wine
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock, gluten-free
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Mince the shallots and garlic cloves finely and set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent and fragrant, but not browned.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the shallots and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the flour is golden.
Gradually pour in the dry Marsala wine, stirring continuously to deglaze the pan and integrate the flour mixture smoothly.
Once the wine is incorporated, add the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves, stirring everything together.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly, and allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until it's rich and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat and serve immediately over your chosen dish.
