Eggs meurette (Slideshow version)
Stage 1/7 : 25 min.
Pour 750 ml red wine into a pan on medium heat. Salt and add 1 teaspoon caster sugar (to reduce the bitterness after cooking).The ideal wine for this is a red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir grapes, but do experiment with other red wines rich in tannin, Syrah/Shiraz for example.
Bring to the boil and leave to reduce gently.
