White Wine Pan Sauce Recipes

WHITE WINE PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the white wine and increase the heat to medium-high; let it come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup. Add 3 cups of the chicken broth and increase the heat to medium-high; bring to a boil, then reduce to medium or medium-low and cook for about 25 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to about 2 cups. (At this point, the sauce can be cooled to room temperature, then covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.) When the sauce has been reduced, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining 3 tablespoons of (unheated) chicken broth in a small bowl to form a slurry, or thickener, for the pan sauce. Whisk the slurry into the saucepan; cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce has become slightly thickened (this is still a relatively thin sauce). Add the reserved pan juices and mix well. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper to taste and add the minced parsley and tarragon. Serve hot.

RED WINE PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 Tbs. of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until softened but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, wine, vinegar, and mustard. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 9 minutes.
• Off the heat, whisk in the remaining 3 Tbs. butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
