Sauce Lyonnaise
Description
According to renowned Lyonnaise chef Paul Bocuse, "In Lyon we put onion in almost everything." French onion soup originated in Lyon, as does this simple and versatile onion-scented sauce. It's superb with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, or serve it with grilled or roasted beef, pork, lamb, game, or poultry.Ingredients
Makes
About 1 1/4 cups
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 ounces Demi-Glace Gold® (or Demi-Glace de Veau Gold®, Jus de Poulet Lié Gold®, or Veggie-Glace Gold®) dissolved in 1 cup hot water
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Methods/steps
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until the onion turns golden, 5-10 minutes. Add the wine and the vinegar, bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid is reduced by 3/4, to about 3 tablespoons.
- Stir in the diluted Demi-Glace Gold®, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper and then add the parsley.
Additional Tips
Traditionally, Sauce Lyonnaise was strained to remove the onion before serving. We've left the onion in for maximum flavor, but feel free to strain the sauce if you prefer it smooth (do it just after seasoning in step 3, before adding the parsley).
