Directions

  1. Measure the pan sauce ingredients in a measuring cup (liquid always totals 1/2 cup). Pour the liquid into hot skillet once meat, poultry or fish has been removed. Reduce liquid to 1/4 cup. Tilt the skillet and whisk in butter or cream, and spoon over each portion and serve.

Anderson is right on with this easy and versatile pan sauce. Easy because one is not reducing two cups of liquid. The liquid can be any variation of water, wine, stock, juice to deglaze the pan. Add seasonings and finish with butter or cream. Perfect for 2-4 servings. Check out her "How to Cook without a Book" for 13 pages on pan sauces. Yum.
