Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Shallots — Finely chop the shallots to ensure they blend seamlessly into the sauce.
  • Dry white wine — Choose a dry white wine with subtle flavors, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, to enhance the taste of the sauce.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with milk or use a lighter cream.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little more broth or cream.
  • To add a touch of freshness, garnish the sauce with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavors of the sauce to your liking.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serving advice

Serve the Suprême Sauce generously over roasted chicken, grilled fish, or steamed vegetables. It also pairs well with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious flavors.

Presentation advice
