Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 medium Shallots
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Dry Marsala wine
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock, gluten-free
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Mince the shallots and garlic cloves finely and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 3

Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent and fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the shallots and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the flour is golden.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the dry Marsala wine, stirring continuously to deglaze the pan and integrate the flour mixture smoothly.

Step 6

Once the wine is incorporated, add the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves, stirring everything together.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly, and allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until it's rich and creamy.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat and serve immediately over your chosen dish.
