Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Pour the olive oil into a 4 to 5 quart saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the flour and stir with a wire whisk until all the flour is dissolved and the mixture looks like a paste.
  • Reduce the heat and slowly add the wine; the mixture will start to thicken quickly.
  • Continue to stir and remove from the heat, if necessary, until all the wine has been mixed inches.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth while you continue to stir.
  • Simmer, uncovered, for approximately 1-2 minute, or until the taste of alcohol is no longer present in the sauce.
  • Be sparing with the salt and pepper. Iti1/2s better to underseason this sauce, because you will season it again in the saute pan.
  • If this (or any) sauce ever has lumps caused by undissolved flour, just pass the sauce through a sieve or a mesh strainer. It will come out lump-free.
