Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (½ cup) unsalted butter, divided
  • Splash of heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 medium shallot, very finely minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Melt 2 tbsp butter in large straight-sided sauté pan over medium high heat. Add garlic and shallot, and cook until garlic is golden.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, and cook just until butter is melted. Remove from heat and allow to come down to room temperature.
  3. Purée sauce in batches until smooth. Return to pan and heat through on low heat.
