34. (1)Demi- Glaze

35. INGREDIENTS 1 gallon brown stock, hot 1 1/2 cups brown roux 1/4 cup bacon fat 2 cups chopped onions 1 cup chopped carrots 1 cup chopped celery Salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup tomato puree 1 bouquet garni

36. PROCEDURE In a stock pot, whisk the hot stock into the roux. In a large sauté pan, heat the bacon fat. Add the vegetables.

37. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir the tomato puree into the vegetables and cook for about 5 minutes.

38. Add the tomato/vegetable mixture to the stock/roux mixture. Add the bouquet garni and continue to simmer, skimming as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

39. Simmer the sauce for about 45 minutes. Strain the sauce through a China cap or tightly meshed strainer.

40. Bechamel

41. Ingredients 5 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 cups milk 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

42. Directions In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add the flour and stir until smooth. Over medium heat, cook until the mixture turns a light, golden sandy color, about 6 to 7 minutes.

43. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan until just about to boil. Add the hot milk to the butter mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until very smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat. Season with salt and nutmeg, and set aside until ready to use.

44. Velouté

45. Ingredients: 6 cups chicken stock 2 Tbsp clarified butter 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

46. Preparation: (1) Heat the chicken stock to a SIMMER in a medium saucepan, then lower the heat so that the stock just stays hot.

47. (2) Meanwhile, in a separate heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the clarified butter over a medium heat until it becomes frothy. Don’t let it turn brown, though — that’ll affect the flavor.

48. (3)With a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the melted butter a little bit at a time, until it is fully incorporated into the butter, giving you a pale-yellow-colored paste. This paste is called a roux. Heat the roux for another minute or so to cook off the taste of raw flour.

49. (4)Using a wire whisk, slowly add the hot chicken stock to the roux, whisking vigorously to make sure it’s free of lumps.

50. (5) Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the total volume has reduced by about one-third, stirring frequently to make sure the sauce doesn’t scorch at the bottom of the pan.

51. (6) The resulting sauce should be smooth and velvety. If it’s too thick, whisk in a bit more hot stock until it’s just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

52. (7) Remove the sauce from the heat. For an extra smooth consistency, carefully pour the sauce through a wire mesh strainer lined with a piece of cheesecloth.

53. (8)Keep the velouté covered until you’re ready to use it.

54. Hollaindaise Sauce

57. (2)Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. (3)Continue to whisk rapidly.

58. (4) Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble.

59. (5) Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume.

60. (5)Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict.
