Ingredients
- 2 pcs carrot
- 2 pcs shallots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp whole black pepper
- 1 handful fresh thyme
- 3,5 dl port wine
- 3 dl broth (duck / chicken / turkey)
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp butter
- a little salt
Step 1
Start by finding a pan and fairly high heat. Cut up the vegetables. Put some butter in the pan and melt the butter. Add onion, garlic and carrot and cook for a few minutes. Cook until the vegetables have a little crust, this gives a good taste to the sauce. Add the herbs and whole black pepper. Pour in the port wine and stir well.
Step 2
Let the port wine boil until it is almost completely gone. A maximum of 1/3 of the liquid should be left.
Step 3
Now add the broth. If I make the sauce for duck then I use duck broth, if I make turkey I use broth from turkey. Beef broth for beef etc ... Mix well and let the sauce reduce down to only 1/3 once more. Find a strainer and strain the sauce into a clean saucepan.
Step 4
Turn down the heat and whip in a few pieces of butter just before serving. Taste with a little more salt if necessary. Now the sauce is ready to be enjoyed.
