Note
You can substitute the calvados with white wine or chicken broth. If you opt for calvados, know that to flame, you just need to heat the alcohol in a metal ladle that is resting on the heating element of a hot stove. Pour the alcohol on the preparation. Light immediately with a long match close to the preparation and flambé. Allow to burn itself out.
