INSTRUCTIONS
This was served at the Napa Valley Wine Auction, 1994, from Fred Halpert,
chef of Brava Terrace in St. Helena, CA. [Note: this seems like it makes
a lot! You might want to cut down the proportions.] Makes enough for 20
skewers. Serve over grilled scallops, shrimp, lobster, tuna or swordfish.
Saute the garic, onions, peppers and bay leaf in the oil over high heat in
a large heavy saucepan until they start to carmelize. Add tomatoes, beer
and stock, and reduce heat to mediuim high. Continue cooking until the
mixture is reduced by 1/2, then add the cumin, sugar and Worcestershire.
Combine the cornstarch with the water, and mix well. Add cornstarch mix to
the rest of the sauce and boil for 5 minutes stirring well. Let cool before
serving over seafood.
