Notes

To thicken the sauce further, combine 1 tsp of arrowroot starch with about 1-2 tsp of water in a small bowl. Whisk well and add to the pan. Allow to thicken, and add another mixture if a thicker sauce is desired.

If you'd prefer a thinner sauce, add splash of broth and stir to thin out the sauce.
