Step by step preparation of cranberry sauce with garlic and basil
1. Cranberries for the sauce can be taken both fresh and frozen. I have fresh berries. They need to be sorted out, rinsed and filled with water.
2. Put on fire and boil for 10 minutes. Do not cover with a lid so that the liquid evaporates. You can add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, always refined, odorless. This will add some shine to the sauce.
3. Add salt, pepper, dried basil and sugar to the sauce. Finely chop the peeled garlic cloves or pass through a garlic press. You can replace the sugar in the sauce with the same amount of honey, or you can take 2 teaspoons of sugar and honey in half, if you like sweeter sauces. Stir and return to the fire for another 3-4 minutes.
4. Cool the prepared base for the sauce a little and chop the boiled berries with an immersion blender. You can rub the sauce through a sieve so that it becomes well, completely homogeneous, and if you like, you can leave it that way, with tiny splashes of garlic and small fragments of berries.
5. All that remains is to pour the cooled sauce into a beautiful gravy boat - and you're done.
6. Cranberry sauce with garlic and basil, prepared according to a simple recipe, is ready! Serve it with your favorite dishes and enjoy the extravaganza of taste!
