Base Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shallots

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.

Building the Sauce

  1. 3

    Deglaze with Marsala Wine

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Broth and Cream

    Once the wine has reduced, add the chicken or vegetable broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Final Seasoning

  1. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh thyme. Stir well and taste, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
