No chicken stock needed. Just a squirt of lemon juice and melted butter is enough liquid. After a few minutes of sorrel cooking down, I add (heavy) cream and reduce. Yum!
Did this with roasted garlic and black bean broth instead of chicken stock. No need to run through the processor. Just delicious with broiled black cod.
