Add liquid (wine, stock, juice or water) to a hot frying pan after pan-frying or sautèing, a simple yet delicious sauce can be made in the pan by deglazing. It can also be used to make gravy after roasting meats.
Use a well seasoned or nonstick pan so that no fat is needed (dry sauté – will not have even color)
Use herbs and spices for seasonings to reduce the amount of salt used
Serve with light, flavorful sauces such as vegetable or fruit coulis
Use low fat/low calorie liquids to deglaze Use arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken the sauce in
place of roux
