Ingredients:

12 tablespoons (6 ounces) unsalted butter, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion

Preparation:

In medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 3 to 5 minutes.
