Note

For a richer flavor, substitute the water with 1 cup of chicken stock.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 bay leaf to the simmering sauce for extra aromatic depth.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to prevent the sauce from splitting.

If you prefer a less acidic sauce, reduce the amount of vinegar by half or add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
