Pinot Noir Butter Sauce

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

2 tablespoons finely minced Shallots
1/2 cup pinot noir, or other Dry Red Wine
1 teaspoon Black Peppercorns
2 sticks cold Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces
Salt

 
   
Preparation:  
   

In a medium saucepan, combine the shallots, wine, and peppercorns; bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced in volume by 1/2, about 2 minutes.

Whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, removing the pan from the heat periodically to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking.

Strain into a clean container and use immediately.

Makes 1 cup.
