Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium (finely chopped) shallot
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 60 milliliters whiskey
• 120 milliliters coconut cream
• 120 milliliters vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Carefully add the whiskey to the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the coconut cream, vegetable broth, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Let the mixture simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or a touch more maple syrup for sweetness, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving. It pairs beautifully with grilled dishes or plant-based proteins.
