Sure thing, friend. The trick is to lean on the pantry’s old friends—like a good stock, a splash of vinegar, and the right spice blend—so you’re not starting from scratch. Blend the aromatics in a quick sauté, then whisk in the stock and let it simmer for just a few minutes. A pinch of sugar can round it out, and finish with a squeeze of fresh citrus or a dash of honey. If you’re really in a hurry, pre‑blend the sauce in the blender and then just heat it through; the heat will bring the flavors together. Remember, the ritual of tasting as you go keeps the flavor from slipping away, even when you’re racing against time.
