White Wine, Lemon and Caper Sauce.

A simple and different 'gravy' for roast chicken.

There's shallot, white wine, lemon, stock, parsley and capers.

(You can also freeze it and mix a little into a classic brown gravy).

Ingredients (4):

2 shallots, minced
1 TBSP Butter
1/4 tsp salt

60 ml, dry white wine
1/3rd lemon, zest and juice
250 ml, chicken stock
1 TBSP chopped capers

1 TBSP chopped parsley
1 TBSP cornflour
1 TBSP white wine
1 TBSP butter (to finish)
White pepper, optional

Method:
Soften the shallot in butter.

Add wine, lemon zest and juice then simmer until liquid halved (2 minutes).

Add chicken stock and capers, simmer until reduced by 1/3 rd (4 or so more minutes).

Mix cornflour and wine, stir into the bubbling sauce.

Add parsley and whisk in butter.

Take a picture for bragging rights.
