Instructions

1 Sauté the eschalots and garlic in butter in a large pan over a moderate heat for 4 minutes, until softened. Sprinkle on the flour and cook until thickened. Pour in the wine, bring to a simmer, then add the stock, mustard and cream and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
