Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely minced) Shallot
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy.
Add the finely minced shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the softened shallots and garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture thicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard, chopped fresh dill, and lemon juice. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and serve warm over your favorite dish. This sauce pairs well with grilled salmon, roasted chicken, or drizzled over steamed vegetables.
