1/4cuppan drippings from a roasted pork, chicken, or turkeyOR 4 tablespoons additional butter
4tbspbutter
1/4cupall-purpose flour
1cupwhite wine
3cupschicken stock
1tspDijon mustard
1tspwhole grain mustard
1(3.5 oz) jar of green peppercorns in brinedrained
Instructions
Start with a skillet filled with 1/4 cup drippings from a roasted meat or add 4 tbsp butter to the skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and whisk it into the drippings.
Add the flour to the pan and whisk it into the fat until it is bubbling and lightly golden.
Pour in the wine and use it to deglaze the pan. The wine will help release all the dark bits left behind by the roasted meat.
Add the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and the drained peppercorns to the pan. Whisk everything together and bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to whisk until the sauce has thickened and slightly reduced, about 10 - 15 minutes. Taste the sauce and add salt as needed.
