How to Make Porte Maillot Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup minced onion, 1/4 cup shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup minced celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. (A food processor can greatly speed up this step!)
  3. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, ensuring the vegetables do not brown. Stir occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1 cup cooked lima beans, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (especially if using a meat other than ham).
  5. Cook for an additional minute, allowing flavors to meld. Serve immediately spooned over a hot baked ham or alongside sliced ham.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional)
