Instructions

To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat and cook the shallots gently for 5 mins until soft but not coloured. Stir in the peppercorns and flour, then pour in the brandy, allowing it to bubble for a few minutes until a paste forms. Add the stock and simmer for 10-15 mins until slightly thickened, then stir in the cream and mustard. Season to taste, then leave to cool. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat until piping hot.
