Description

The recipe for Worcestershire sauce was developed in England in the second half of the 19th century, during the reign of Queen Victoria. The sauce was named after the English county of Worcestershire. It is also known by several other popular names: Worcester sauce, Worcester, Worcestershire, and Worcestershire sauce. Worcestershire sauce is primarily mentioned in recipes of English cuisine. It is served with stewed and fried meat dishes, boiled and fried fish, and hot appetizers. It is customary to season English dishes such as stews, bacon with eggs, roast beef, and others with Worcestershire sauce. This sauce is also used in preparing various marinades. Worcestershire sauce is served with cheese sandwiches and cheese toasts. It is used to flavor Caesar salad. Worcestershire sauce is also an ingredient in the "Bloody Mary" cocktail. Worcestershire sauce is produced industrially. Its recipe is always kept strictly secret, making it extremely difficult to prepare at home. However, using the recipe I provide, you will be able to make a Worcestershire sauce that differs little from the store-bought version. Be careful—Worcestershire sauce is concentrated, so 2–3 drops are sufficient for one serving. It is ideal with pasta, meat, and vegetables.
