Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium, finely chopped shallots
- 3 finely minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup, finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to gently heat through, about 2 minutes.
Add the Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, and parsley, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the herbs are evenly distributed.
Stir in the lemon juice, taste the sauce, and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Remove the sauce from heat and serve immediately over your choice of pasta, roasted vegetables, or grilled protein.
