By akselden

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup tomato juice
• 2 cups dry red wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and saute the onion and garlic in it until they soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato juice and red wine and boil the mixture gently until it reduces in volume to 1/2 cup. Pour in the chicken broth and boil the mixture until it reduces to 3/4 cup. Strain the mixture into a clean pan. Finish the sauce by whisking in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm.
