Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece shallot, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried Herbes de Provence
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, leaves only
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and fragrant, but not browned.
Stir in the dried Herbes de Provence, fresh thyme leaves, and chopped rosemary. Cook for 1 minute to release their aromas.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable stock and the tomato paste. Mix well to create a smooth consistency.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently whisk in the unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve warm over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or your favorite pasta for a taste of Provence.
