Tips and Serving Suggestions
You can make the sauce a bit runnier by adding a bit of vegetable stock to the wine.
For a healthier alternative, you can omit the cream altogether and substitute it with 125ml hot vegetable stock. Instead you can even add a tablespoon of apricot jam if you’d like to sweeten the sauce.
