Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup goose stock
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the goose stock and red wine over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- In a small separate bowl, create a cornstarch slurry by whisking the cornstarch with a small amount of cold water until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering stock and wine mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping and ensure smooth integration.
- Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the freshly chopped sage, allowing the herbs to infuse their flavor into the sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Remove the sauce from heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and sauce to reach optimal consistency.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve if a smoother texture is desired, then serve immediately over the prepared stubble goose.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your stock and wine are at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, to maintain sauce integrity.
- Cornstarch Technique: Always mix cornstarch with cold water to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, silky texture.
- Continuous Stirring: Keep stirring the sauce to prevent burning and promote even thickening.
- Fresh Herbs Matter: Use freshly chopped sage for maximum flavor impact - dried herbs can't compare!
- Seasoning Secrets: Taste and adjust salt and pepper gradually; you can always add more, but can't take away.
- Straining Option: For an ultra-refined sauce, strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a velvety smooth finish.
- Serve Immediately: This sauce is best enjoyed right after preparation when flavors are most vibrant.
