Cooking time:
Yield: 0

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 cups homemade or purchased chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup 15% cream
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion until golden. Add the vinegar and sugar and cook until the vinegar has evaporated. Add the broth. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add the cream and the cornstarch mixture. Return to a boil while whisking. Add the almonds and adjust the seasoning.
  3. Note: If desired, purée the sauce in the blender, then strain through a fine-meshed sieve. The resulting sauce will be smooth and creamy. If you use purchased chicken broth, season only after reducing the sauce because the broth is already salty.
