Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 bay leaves, crushed
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken/vegetable stock
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pound vegetable of your choice like potato (boiled and chopped)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Hot crusty French bread, for serving
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the cayenne, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, thyme, oregano, paprika, and bay leaves.
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the butter over medium-high until melted and sizzling. Add the garlic, spices, wine, stock, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to lightly coat a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes; shake the pan as it cooks to help bring the sauce together.
Add the vegetable, reduce the heat to low, and cook, turning once, 3 to 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately from the skillet with hot French bread to soak up the sauce. Eat with your hands.
