Calories: 153.7
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/4 cup shallots very finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp rosemary chopped
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum or 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Add the shallots. Cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the rosemary.
- Stir in cream and gently simmer for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle xanthan gum over the top (or stir in the cornstarch slurry). Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
- Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper. Serve.
Notes
Storage - This will thicken in the fridge. Just reheat and stir as needed.
Thickener - I prefer to use cornstarch. Adding 1 teaspoon of cornstarch will add 2 grams of carbs to the recipe total, which translates to 0.25 grams of carbs per serving.
