March is the perfect time to stretch your culinary wings and celebrate .
Perhaps it’s another one of those bizarre celebrations with no definite origin. No worries though, as if I needed an excuse to celebrate sauces.
A good sauce is one way you can add flavor to your meal, with fewer calories. A highly-flavored sauce can truly make a meal.
I routinely will prepare sauces. I take pride in it. Of course, since it’s just my husband and me, I can take the time to prepare a complicated sauce. The reward is worth it to me. Besides, oftentimes a sauce is just a lot of reduction time. It’s not like you’re slaving away in the kitchen.
I prepared this delightful from Epicurious last week for a date night dinner. There was some reduction time, but actually relatively little. Except for a bit of clean up on the stove, it was very easy. The ingredients were readily available.
As you prepare your meals for the week, take some time to plan for some tasty sauces. I’ll be writing about some of my favorites this month. Bon appetit!
