Sauce Madère
2 cups brown sauce (you can use prepared demi-glace like that sold by D’Artagnan )
2 T. good Madeira
Cook down the brown sauce for 20 minutes over medium heat. Add the Madeira, raise the heat, and cook rapidly; the sauce should look syrupy and lightly coat a metal spoon. Serve with beef or chicken.
C’est fantastique!
This life-long agnostic would seriously consider converting if it meant I could have a kitchen like the one in the painting.
