What sauce?

[janeevans]

What is the name of the sauce that is made with onions and white wine?

[Tony Monero]

janeevans - can you be a bit more specific?

[calibrax]

Here's three possibilities:

Hungarian Sauce: minced onions, paprika, margarine, white wine and veloute

Venetian Sauce: chopped onions, chervil, white wine, vinegar and white wine sauce

Bercy Sauce: white wine, chopped onions, veloute, margarine, chopped parsley and lemon juice.

Am i missing something here? How about "it could be simply 'White Wine' sauce"? (onion, white wine, bit of sweetening [depending on what wine], butter, flour for thickening)

[Tony Monero]

Please don't use margarine in a sauce, use butter, preferably unsalted. If you are worried about the calorie content then don't have the sauce. Back to the question....there are literally hundreds of sauces that contain white wine and onions, hence the need to be more specific.

Tony Monero is that your real name or did you star in a dance movie in the 80's?

[janeevans]

Tony, Can't be more specific that is exact question I have.

[Tony Monero]

Disco Fever! In which case jane, I would probably agree with darth, white wine sauce!

Lyonnaise?

[darth vader]

...in which case surely your name should be Tony Minero?

[JasonSutton]

If it's mainly onions and it's a white then it could be a soubise sauce. A brown/clear sauce could be used in a Lyonnaise dish. White Wine sauce doesn't really reduce your options as white wine/vermouth is used in so many sauces.
