Default brazen or braisen sauce?

At a restaurant last night, I ordered the special which the waitress
told me was fettucine with braised lamb and arugula and "with a sort of
brazen sauce." I asked what that was. She answered that it was "like
the sauce from when they braise the lamb." (I just love these young
waitresses who are trying so hard, but is obvious that they don't know
the first thing about cooking and don't have much experience with dining
out or eating a variety of foods either.)


The meal when it arrived was delicious. The only sauce that I could
detect was a little too much oil on the bottom of the dish. Has anyone
heard of what she was trying to describe? It could have been brazen or
braisen or braysin. I wouldn't call it an Italian restaurant, but other
menu items were in Italian.

Could she have been saying "braisin'" (braising) sauce, aka gravy?

I'm guessing that has to be it too. I had the leftovers today for lunch
and still think the dish was a good one. The falling apart lamb and
vegetables did form a sort of sauce if you stretch the definition a bit.
Thanks.
