This french recipe tutorial focuses on teaching you how to make this classic French sauce that can be served with fish or scallops. The culinary technique we will learn today is a sauce that starts with a reduction a sec (reduction of an acidic liquid to an almost dry state) which is then "binded" by a reduction process (no thickening agent are added). This particular sauce starts with a reduction of white wine shallots and fresh tarragon and black peppercorn ("mignonette").
