• 1 medium-sized onion

• 2 cups dry white wine
  
• 1 bouillon cube
  
• 2 cups hot water
  
• 1 teaspoon (or more to taste) cayenne pepper

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes

Preparation

Mince the onion and sauté it in the butter until it turns translucent; don't let it brown. Stir in the wine, turn up the flame, and cook until almost all the liquid evaporates. Add the remaining water, bouillon, and the cayenne pepper, and cook the sauce down to till it's about a cup in volume. It should go nicely with bland foods, for example boiled meats, boiled fish, and boiled or mashed potatoes.
