Method

Makes a portion for four people. 

  1. Fry the onions in the sunflower oil over a moderate heat until caramelised, then add the butter and fry for a minute longer.
  2. Add the whisky and cook for a further minute.
  3. To make the light roux, stir in the plain flour and cook for a minute before adding the black pepper and balsamic, allowing the roux a further minute to cook.
  4. Then stir in the chicken stock, add the double cream and bring to the boil until you reach the thickness desired. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little more stock.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and season, to taste, with salt.
