Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium-sized (finely minced) shallots
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
Once the butter has melted, add the finely minced shallots. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent but not browned.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by about half.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the pan and simmer for an additional 3 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer, but do not let it boil.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard until fully incorporated, followed by the fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Continue to simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture (optional).
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dish, such as grilled chicken, pan-seared fish, or roasted vegetables. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
