Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Crush the black peppercorns slightly to release their flavor.

Cooking

2

Sauté Shallots and Garlic

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.

3

Add Cognac

Carefully add the cognac to the pan, allowing it to simmer for 3-4 minutes. This will help to cook off some of the alcohol and infuse the flavor.

4

Incorporate Cream

Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

5

Add Peppercorns and Season

Stir in the crushed black peppercorns, ground black pepper, and salt. Let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Finish with Parsley

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Adjust seasoning to taste.
