Sauce Diable

Description

This spicy, tangy sauce was traditionally served in France with chicken or poultry prepared á la diable: split, grilled, then sprinkled with bread crumbs and browned under a broiler.  Use Sauce Diable to add some peppery zest to your grilled or roasted chicken or pork.

Ingredients

Makes
About 1 1/4 cups
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 shallots, minced
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 ounces Demi-Glace Gold® (or Demi-Glace de Veau Gold® or Jus de Poulet Lié Gold®) dissolved in 1 cup hot water
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • Salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Methods/steps

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.  Add the shallots and sauté until they are soft and transparent, about 2-3 minutes.  Add the white wine and vinegar, increase the heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then cook until it is reduced by 2/3, to about 6 tablespoons.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and add the diluted Demi-Glace Gold®, the black pepper, and the cayenne.  Simmer until the sauce reduces slightly, to a syrupy consistency.  Season to taste with salt and additional black pepper and cayenne.  Whisk in the chives.
