Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add diced carrots, celery, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 12-15 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
  2. Stir in dried sage, thyme, and ground pepper. Cook for an additional minute. Pour in dry sherry and stir, allowing it to evaporate for about 2 minutes.
