Ingredients
- 1 cup Port wine
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 small Shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 cup Chicken or duck stock
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the shallots and garlic cloves. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat until melted.
Step 3
Add the minced shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the port wine and add the thyme sprigs. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the wine reduces by half.
Step 5
Stir in the chicken or duck stock and continue to simmer for another 6-8 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly.
Step 6
Remove the thyme sprigs and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to give the sauce a glossy finish.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately over roasted duck, lamb, or any dish of your choice.
