Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Sauces

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons shallots, minced
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup marsala or 3/4 cup madeira wine
1 5/8 ounces gold demi-glace
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup cream

Steps:

  • Saute shallots in butter for 1-2 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add cracked peppercorns, thyme and bay leaf and cook 30 seconds.
  • Add red wine and reduce by half.
  • Add Port, Marsala or Madeira wine and bring to boil.
  • Add demi-Glaze gold and whisk until dissolved.
  • Add cream and reduce, then add enough water to reach desired sauce thickness.
  • Strain and serve over Beek, Veal, Pork, chicken or other grilled or roasted meats.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine: Port, Marsala, and Madeira are all fortified wines with unique flavor profiles. Port is a sweet, rich wine with notes of fruit and chocolate. Marsala is a medium-bodied wine with a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Madeira is a dry, complex wine with a range of flavors from nutty to caramel. Choose the wine that best complements the dish you are making.
  • Use a good quality wine: The quality of the wine you use will greatly affect the flavor of your sauce. Use a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't boil the wine: When you add the wine to the sauce, bring it to a simmer but do not boil it. Boiling the wine will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor.
  • Reduce the wine: Simmer the wine until it has reduced by about half. This will concentrate the flavors and give the sauce a richer, more complex taste.
  • Add other ingredients: Once the wine has reduced, you can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as shallots, garlic, mushrooms, or herbs. These ingredients will add depth and flavor to the sauce.
  • Thicken the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. Be sure to whisk the slurry into the sauce until it has dissolved completely.
  • Serve the sauce: Port, Marsala, and Madeira sauces are typically served over meat, poultry, or fish. They can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Port, Marsala, and Madeira sauces are all delicious and versatile sauces that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. By following these tips, you can make a perfect sauce that will impress your family and friends.
