Rifling through the freezer to make space, I came across a mystery container that turned out to be Meurette sauce. Woohoo! Meurette sauce is, essentially, beef stew without the beef. Roughly, it's bacon, carrots, onion, garlic, red wine, broth, thyme, bay leaf all reduced down to a saucy stew, enriched with a chunk of butter. Served with a poached egg(s). Oeufs en meurette! One of my favorite dishes. And today, an unexpectedly fine lunch.
