| Sauces

Wow-Wow Sauce is a sauce, apparently created by Dr. William Kitchiner in the early 19th century. It contains port, wine vinegar, pickled cucumbers or Pickled Walnuts, English mustard and mushroom ketchup in a base of beef stock, flour and butter.

Ingredients

 * Butter
 * 1 tbsp flour
 * 1 cup beef broth
 * 1 tbsp vinegar
 * 1 tbsp mushroom ketchup and/or port wine
 * 1 tbsp prepared mustard
 * Parsley, finely chopped
 * 2–3 pickled cucumbers or walnuts, chopped

Procedure

 * 1) Put a piece of butter as big as an egg into a saucepan. When it is melted, stir in the flour and beef broth.
 * 2) Add vinegar, mushroom ketchup, and mustard. Simmer together until it is as thick as you wish.
 * 3) Add the parsley and pickles, and warm them through.
