Instructions

- 2Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and ham. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the flour is incorporated and the mixture is lightly browned. This creates a roux, which will thicken the sauce.
- 3Gradually whisk in the brown stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- 4Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar (if desired) to taste.
