Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 medium Shallot
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup White Wine
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 0.5 cup Creme Fraiche
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Finely mince the shallot and garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced shallot and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour in the white wine and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the wine to boil and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and whisk in the Dijon mustard and creme fraiche until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the lemon juice and fresh thyme to the sauce, stirring well.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Simmer the sauce for 3-4 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of grilled fish, chicken, or vegetables.
