Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the squash, stock and sage sprigs and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Place the sauce in a blender and blend until very smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.

  3. Step 3

    When ready to serve, reheat the sauce and season with the cumin, cayenne, salt and white pepper. Bring just to a simmer, remove from the heat and whisk in the truffle butter or remaining unsalted butter. Serve immediately with pork, duck or game and garnish with chopped sage.
