Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (or less to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 -3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • salt
  • pepper

Method

  • Combiine the wine, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and shallots in a medium saucepan. Boil over high heat, reducing the liquid until about 1/4 cup remains. Slowly whisk in the butter, making sure you keep the temperature even, not too hot or too cold. When all the butter has been added and you have a creamy smooth sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately. Do not try to hold the sauce longer than 1 hour. Enjoy!
