Sauce charcutière

Charcutière sauce is a rich compound sauce from France, prepared from a base of sauce Espagnole with added chopped cornichons, onions, mustard, and white wine. The sauce provides an ideal accompaniment to grilled pork and various meat dishes because it cuts through their richness.

Charcutière is a popular staple at most Parisian bistros, and it is even better when prepared in a skillet that was used for grilling the pork, due to the fact that the caramelized juices further enrich the sauce's flavor and color.
