Carrot-Red Wine Reduction Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 | High-quality red wine | |
| 6 | Carrots - peeled, and (small) | |
| Cut into 1" pieces | ||
| Salt - to taste | ||
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Cold unsalted butter |
Bring the wine to a boil in a large saucepan set over high heat, and lower heat to a simmer. Cook the wine until syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Place carrots in a small saucepan. Cover with water, adding a pinch of salt. Cook, covered, until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Transfer the carrots to a blender or food processor, and puree, adding a bit of the cooking liquid if the mixture is too thick.
Transfer the reduced wine to a bowl, and stir about 1/2 cup of the carrot puree into it. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved carrot cooking water. Adjust seasoning, and whisk in butter.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
