Truffled Madeira Sauce Recipe

1

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 shallots finely minced
Leaves from 2 sprigs of thyme
1 About 1 ounce of thinly sliced black truffle
6 tablespoons Sercial or Verdelho Madeira
3 cups chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1)Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, thyme and truffle and cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft, 3 to 4 minutes.

2)Add the Madeira and stir to deglaze the pan. Reduce the liquid until it becomes a syrupy glaze, a few minutes. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half, about 15 minutes.

3)Whisk in the remaining butter, a few teaspoons at a time, making sure it is incorporated before you add more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in a sauceboat and bring to the table.
