Ingredients
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1/4 cup cold organic unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (TIP: Opt for a mix of any of the following: fresh flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, chives or chervil.)
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste (TRY: Simply Organic Ground Black Pepper)
Preparation
In a small saucepan, bring shallots and wine to a boil on high. Reduce heat slightly to a gentle boil and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter gradually until incorporated. Before serving, return sauce to medium heat and gently warm as needed; do not boil. Stir in herbs and season with salt and pepper.
