- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup stock (fish or chicken)
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, chopped fine
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped fine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup butter, chopped into 1 tablespoon pieces

Instructions
- Cook the Chardonnay and the onion together over a low fire until the wine reduces and the onion is very soft and transparent.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in another heavy saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the flour and whisk until blended.
- Add the stock a little at a time, whisking constantly until blended and thickened.
- Add the mushrooms, bell pepper and garlic. Smother down until the vegetables are soft.
- Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup of butter in pieces until melted.
