Ingredients

  • 1 orange Seville if possible
  • 1 tablespoon shallot finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur Grand Marnier, Cointreau or Curacao (optional)
  • ½ cup demi glace
  • salt to taste
  • white pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the zest from half of the orange, cut into ¼ inch strips and reserve. Squeeze the juice from the orange and save that too.
  2. Heat up a sauce pan over medium heat. When hot, add the butter and then the shallots. Saute the shallots until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the orange juice, vinegar and orange liqueur (optional). Let this reduce for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the demi glace and reserved orange zest to the sauce pan. Let this simmer and reduce down until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoons.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
  6. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  7. Serve with duck, chicken or trout.
