Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Green peppercorns, crushed
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 quarter cup Brandy
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped shallots to the pan and sauté them until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the crushed green peppercorns to the shallots, stirring well to combine.

Step 4

Carefully add the brandy to the pan. Allow it to simmer for about 1-2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid reduces by about half.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and develop flavors.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately over your favorite vegetarian dishes or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
