- 40 g of butter
- 100 ml white wine, dry
- 800 ml of broth

- Deglaze with wine and broth, salt and pepper, bring to a boil and cook on medium for 30 minutes.

Tip:
If you do not want to use alcohol, you can replace it with a good meat stock. The acidity of the wine can be imitated by a small dash of vinegar.
