How to Make Creamy Chive Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 2 tablespoons of chives (finely chopped). Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Increase heat to high and cook until the wine is reduced by half (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add 1 cup of chicken or vegetable stock and simmer until reduced by half (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream.
  5. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to a light, creamy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot immediately. A ladle is recommended for serving to ensure you get all the delicious onion and chive bits!
