  3. For the red wine sauce, place the red wine into a small saucepan and boil until reduced by half.

  4. Add the vegetable stock and sugar and boil for five minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  5. For the salsa verde, place the herbs, olive oil, mustard and lemon juice into a small food processor and blend until smooth.
