How To Make Red Wine Sauce

I'm going to show you how to make a red wine sauce, which is pretty straightforward. In this pan, I have chicken stock. We're going to stick that on the back burner and when it comes up to boil, we're going to take the lid off and reduce it down to a fine syrup.

I've got my red wine here, so we're going to make the red wine sauce with this by reducing this down with some vegetables and blending it with the chicken. So, I've got some raw carrot and onion and if I just put a little bit of olive oil in a pan and fry those up, I'm going to add a bouquet of herbs in there. In that bouquet, you've got parsley, rosemary, and a bay leaf, and in about two minutes' time, we come back and add the red wine.

I'm now going to add lots of red wine, put the lid back on, bring it up to the boil, take both lids off, and then blend the two together to make our sauce. What I'm going to do is combine the two together to form a blend and I'm just going to dress some chicken with I was cooking earlier on for purposes of the demonstration. That's how you make a red wine sauce. .
