Poivrade Sauce

Ingredients

• piece of butter the size of an egg
• about 1 tablespoonful of flour
• 1 tablespoonful of vinegar
• 1 wine-glass of claret wine
• 1 glass of broth
• 1 shallot cut in two
• 1 middling-sized onion, also cut in two, with a clove stuck in each piece
• 1 sprig of thyme
• 1 sprig of parsley
• 1 bay-leaf
• 1 clove of garlic
• salt
• 2 pepper-corns

Instructions

Put the butter in a stewpan, and set it on the fire; when melted, sprinkle in it, little by little, the flour, stirring the while; when of a proper thickness, and of a brownish color, take from the fire, add the vinegar, claret wine, broth, shallot, onion, thyme, parsley, bay-leaf, garlic, a little salt, and the pepper-corns; boil about twenty minutes, strain and use.

The vinegar, shallot, and onion may be boiled separately as for a piquante sauce.
