3/4 cup dry White Wine
1 cup Chicken or Pork Stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed Orange Juice
pinch of Cayenne Pepper or several drops Tabasco Sauce
3 tablespoons finely minced fresh Flat-Leaf Parsleyinstructions While the meat is resting, remove any visible fat from the drippings. Place the pan on the stove over medium heat.
