Madeira Sauce

Madeira sauce is a rich peppery sauce which is traditionally made with Madeira wine and served with meats like roast beef and chicken. The sauce is a bit complex, and it can take a long time to make Madeira in the traditional way, but the time investment is worth the flavor. For people who do not want to make their own Madeira sauce, the sauce is sometimes available at markets, especially during the holiday season, when people want to use it with dishes like roast goose and lamb. “A good base lightly flavored with Madeira will produce one of the greatest of all sauces." Raymond Sokolov, the Saucer’s Apprentice
The history of Madeira wine goes back to 1418 and the wine initially was not fortified. It was ordinary wine that was a favorite of George Washington who was believed to have drunk a pint of it daily.
This classic Madeira sauce recipe goes well with beef, chicken, chops or veal.
Ingredients:
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
• 1 oz. Butter (1/4 stick)
• 1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon. cracked peppercorn
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (1/4 tsp. dried)
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 3/4 cup Madeira wine
• 1 cup Brown Sauce
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
Procedures
In a medium sized saucepan, saute shallots in butter for 1-2 minutes or until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are tender. (Approx. 3 minutes). Remove mushrooms and set aside.
Add peppercorns, thyme, and bay leaf and cook 30 seconds. Add red wine and reduce by half. Add Madeira wine and bring to boil.
Add Brown sauce and whisk until incorporated into the sauce. Return mushrooms to pan and add heavy cream and reduce briefly.
Serve over beef, veal, pork, chicken or other grilled or roasted meats. The heavy cream is strictly optional and gives the sauce a richer color and flavor.

Spice Lamb Cutlet with Bean Pure

(Serves 2-3)
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes cut into 1.5cm pieces
4 tablespoons olive oil
40g breadcrumbs
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons freshly-chopped coriander
1 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 egg-yolk
1 rack of lamb, chinned and trimmed
4 large flat mushrooms
150g baby frozen broad beans
1 tablespoon freshly-chopped mint
100ml white wine
Salt and pepper

How to do?

* Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper in small, sturdy roasting pan. Roast in a preheated oven 200 degree Celsius, for 15 minutes.
* Mix together breadcrumbs, garlic, fresh coriander, spices and seasoning. Cut away any thick areas of fat from the skinned side of the lamb. Brush the lamb with egg-yolk and spoon the breadcrumb mixture over, pressing down gently with back of the spoon. Brush the mushrooms with the remaining oil and a little seasoning.
* Turn the potatoes in the pan and add the lamb, crusted-side uppermost. Return to the oven for 30 minutes. (the cutlet will still be slightly pink in the middle after this time, so cook for a little longer if you prefer them well done)
* After 15 minutes of the cooking time, turn the potatoes in the oil and add the mushrooms. Return to the oven for the remaining time. Drain the meat to a board. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes and mushrooms to a warmed serving dish.
* Add the broad beans, mint and wine to the roasting pan, and cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes until the beans are tender. Tip into a blender or processor and blend until smooth. Check the seasoning and spoon on to warmed serving plates. Carve the lamb into cutlets and add to the plates with mushrooms and potatoes. Garnish to your perfection and it`s ready to serve hot.
