Champagne Sauce
This sauce is served with baked ham.
Cut half a slice of raw, lean ham into very small dice; pour 1 cup of champagne
over the diced ham and simmer gently for 10 minutes; add 1/4 c of seedless
raisins that have been washed and drained; Thicken to desired consistency with
arrowroot that has been moistened, add a small pat of butter and just before
serving add 1/4 c of champagne to pep up the flavor.
Aioli or Ailloi
A native of Province, in southern France- where no one ever apologizes for
the garlic. Briefly, a garlic mayonnaise. This sauce is served with boiled fish,
hot or cold - especially cod; also with meats and plain boiled vegetables.
Crush to a pulp 4 cloves of garlic and mix thoroughly with the raw yolk of a
fresh egg. Add a pinch of salt, and stir in slowly, a little at a time, 1/4 c of
good olive oil. Keep stirring till it reaches the consistency of mayonnaise.
No doubt the roving Phoenicians brought this delicacy to Province from
Greece. The Grecian version of this sauce adds finely ground almonds, bread
crumbs soaked in milk and a touch of vinegar.

Although
this dish sounds like pure Heaven, by my calculations it would be both cheaper
and easier to reserve a table at Antoines's and fly to New Orleans for Sunday
brunch.
