Quick Red Wine Sauce

At work I always make fresh stocks, gravies and sauces, but when you’re at home it’s not often or ever possible. But there is always an alternative. Whenever making packet sauces it’s best to add half again or even double the quantity of water given in the recipe to give a better consistency. Bonne Cuisine Madeira Wine Gravy is a good one to use. To make the sauce even simpler, you can leave out the shallots, bay leaf and peppercorns.
