Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 1 Small Shallot Finely diced
  • 1 Clove Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 Cup Cream Sherry
  • 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • Salt As per taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper As per taste
  • 1 Tsp Dijon Mustard Optional
  • 2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Optional
  • Fresh Herbs(Parsley or Thyme) Optional , For garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and cook for 2–3 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the cream sherry and stir. Scrape up any bits from the bottom. Simmer for 3–5 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and broth. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes. Stir occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add Dijon mustard and grated Parmesan if using. Stir until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm over your favorite proteins, pasta, or vegetables.
