Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely mince the shallot and garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced shallot to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
Add the chicken or vegetable broth and continue simmering for another 3-4 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the chopped parsley and remove the pan from heat.
Serve the white wine sauce immediately over fish, chicken, or pasta, or let it cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
