Reform Sauce, “Sauce à la Réforme.” (Cataldi.)
This is an “aigredoux,” i.e. sour-sweet sauce, for Loin of Mutton No. 3, dressed like Roe Venison after lying some days in a marinade, see Meat.
4 spoonfuls of Spanish sauce, 1 of tomato sauce, 2 teaspoonfuls of red currant jelly, a piece of glaze the size of half an egg, and a little port wine.
Let all boil together for about 5 minutes; season, and strain through a tammy. Have ready some hard-boiled white of egg and some gherkin, both cut in shapes, like a half-moon.
Warm them up in the sauce, and serve with the cutlets.
Use this sauce also for Roe Venison cutlets.
