Tips for this recipe

Instead of a glace you can use a good dark stock, for each tablespoon of glace you need 1 dl of stock. You can't really add too much stock, so just use plenty if you have it. If you use this method, the sauce will need to reduce for a longer time to reach the right consistency. In the app you can find the recipe for glace.
