Easy Sauce Hussarde
The thing with French cooking is that each sauce is named according to the exact ingredients and ratio of those ingredients in it – change one thing and you have a different sauce with an entirely different name. Even with that in mind, however, I substitute left and right when I'm making a sauce, merely because I don't stock all ingredients like a restaurant kitchen and want things quick and easy. I say all this merely for the purists in our midst who would be fairly quick to point out that this is not a true Sauce Hussarde, merely because I call for shallot, whereas it “should” be both shallot and yellow onion, and I also play fast and loose with the ratios of shallot, butter, ham, and garlic. Makes 2 cups.

Gently saute the shallot in the butter until translucent. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add demi-glace, tomato puree, chicken stock, garlic, herb stems, and half of the ham. Gently simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or a piece of cheesecloth. Stir in the remaining ham, horseradish, and parsley and spoon alongside red meats.
