Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Shallot (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Add the chopped fresh rosemary and stir for 1 minute to release its aroma.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Whisk in the butter until melted and the sauce becomes silky.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce sit for 1-2 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve warm drizzled over your preferred dishes, such as roasted chicken, steak, or vegetables.
