Demiglace.Pdf demi-glace When was the last time you enjoyed a dish that you knew was remarkable from the moment you tasted it, and that you thought about long after the table had been cleared? Chances are, it was the subtle but defining charac- teristic called depth of flavor that charmed your palate. When cooks had the luxury of time, depth of flavor was achieved by making demi-glace. Demi-glace is the foundation for preparing many sauces and gravies, and enhancing the taste of soups, stews and risot- tos. Technically a classic French sauce, demi-glace is not exactly saucelike. It’s made by slowly sim- mering stock, aromatics and wine into a superconcentrated, intensely flavorful glaze. In fact, Williams- Sonoma demi-glace results from 20 hours of gentle simmering. Our demi-glace is the modern cook’s answer to depth of flavor. Just a tablespoon or two of this all-natural ingredient will add richness and savor to a variety of dishes. You can use demi-glace to make all manner of sauces for just the right finishing touch. You can stir demi-glace into soups, stews and risottos at the last minute to boost the taste. And, because our demi-glace is available in beef, chicken, veal and vegetable, you’ll find a flavor to suit a wide range of dishes. It’s versatile— so experiment! 1 ⁄2 cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock or canned broth 1 ⁄2 cup (95g) dried cherries 2 boneless duck breast halves, each about 6 oz. (185g) Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 1 shallot, minced 1 ⁄4 cup (60ml) port 1 Tbs. chicken demi-glace 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces seared duck breast with cherry-port sauce In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the stock until steam begins to rise from the surface, about 3 minutes. Add the dried cherries and remove from the heat. Season the duck breast halves with salt and pepper. Using a sharp knife, score the skin by making a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Place the duck, skin side down, in the pan and cook until the skin is very crisp and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the duck over and cook until the meat is just springy when pressed, 3 to 5 minutes more for rare to medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Transfer the duck to a warmed platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes before carving. Pour off all but 1 Tbs. fat from the pan. Set the pan over medium heat, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the port, bring to a boil and cook until it is almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the stock and cherries and the demi-glace, and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until completely incorporated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Using a sharp carving knife, cut the duck across the grain into thin slices and arrange on a warmed platter. Pour the sauce over the meat and serve immediately. Serves 4.

Turn the salmon over and continue cooking until golden underneath, about 2 minutes more for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Transfer the salmon to a warmed platter, season lightly with salt and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Pour off all but 1 Tbs. oil from the pan. Set the pan over medium heat, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  • Technique of the Quarter: Examining Sauces
    TECHNIQUE OF THE QUARTER: EXAMINING SAUCES Sauces are often considered one of the greatest tests of a chef’s skill. The successful pairing of a sauce with a food demonstrates technical expertise, an understanding of the food, and the ability to judge and evaluate a dish’s flavors, textures, and colors. THE PURPOSE OF SAUCES Most sauces have more than one function in a dish. A sauce that adds a counterpoint flavor, for example, may also introduce textural and visual appeal. Sauces generally serve one or more of the following purposes. Introduce Complementary or Contrasting Flavors Sauces add flavor to a dish. That flavor can be similar to the flavor of the food you are serving it with. For instance, you might choose a velouté made with chicken stock to serve with a chicken breast dish and one made with shellfish stock to serve with a shrimp dish. Choosing a sauce with a similar base flavor tends to complement and intensify the flavor of the main item. On the other hand, you can choose a sauce that adds a contrasting flavor. A good example would be a red wine sauce that introduces some bright and acidic flavors to a dish that features beef. The contrast between rich, savory beef flavors and the sharp taste of the wine makes the beef stand out. Add Moisture A sauce can add moisture to naturally lean foods such as poultry, fish. A sauce can also compensate for the drying effect of certain cooking techniques, especially broiling, grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Grilled foods may be served with a warm butter emulsion sauce like béarnaise or with compound butter.

  • Five Mother Sauces of Classical Cuisine and Their Pairings
    Five Mother Sauces of Classical Cuisine and Their Pairings The five mother sauces are the base sauces from which most other cooked sauces are made. By incorporating additional ingredients into a mother sauce, you can create numerous small or compound sauces. Béchamel Sauce: This is a simple sauce to make, which is one of the only mother sauce that does not require a broth base. Bèchamel is a rich, creamy, smooth white sauce with a subtle onion flavour made by simmering an onion studded with whole cloves in mild and adding the infused milk (minus the onion) to a white roux. The Béchamel sauce is a typical sauce used in white lasagna dishes, cream sauce pastas and white meat dishes..… Here are some of the small sauces made from béchamel: Cream Sauce, Mornay Sauce, Soubise Sauce, Nantua Sauce, Cheddar Cheese Sauce, Mustard Sauce, Cheesy Sauce Best Wine Pairing for Béchamel Sauce: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Neuburger, Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Blanc..... Copyright ©: Dominik Kozlik - Zeitgeist Sommelier - www.sommelier-jobs.com Velouté Sauce: This mother sauce can come in many varieties if you differentiate the broth base. Depending on what dish you are using your sauce in, you may want to use a chicken, veal or fish broth. Velouté sauce is very much like a Béchamel but differs in that it has no milk, but instead uses broth. It is slightly more versatile in dishes since various broths can cater to different dishes and can work very well with baked fish dishes..… Each of the veloutés forms the basis of its own respective secondary mother sauce.
