Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small, finely chopped shallot
- 60 ml dry white wine
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 100 grams Roquefort cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- to taste salt
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot to the pan and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Crumble the Roquefort cheese into the sauce and stir until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth.
Season with black pepper and taste before adding salt, as the Roquefort cheese can be quite salty.
Serve immediately over steaks, pasta, roasted vegetables, or any dish of your choice.
