Original Recipe
Poivre jaunet
(from Le Viandier de Taillevent)
Poivre jaunet. Broiés gingembre, saffren, pain hallé, et deffaites de vin aigre et faites boullir; et acuns y metent graine et girofle au verjus.
Translation
Yellow Pepper [Sauce]. Crush ginger, saffron and browned bread, steep in vinegar, and boil. Some cooks add grains of paradise, cloves and verjuice.
Modern Redaction
Method:
Tear the toast into pieces and place in a bowl with wine, vinegar, and lemon juice. Allow to soak, stirring occasionally, until bread turns to mush. Strain through a fine sieve into a saucepan, pressing well to get as much the liquid as possible out of the bread.
Add the spices and bring to a low boil, simmering until thick. Serve warm.
