Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- garlic
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions
In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until tender. Add wine, and cook for 2 minutes or until reduced by half. Stir in cream and mustard. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 6 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in tarragon.
