3. Sauces Tips From the Chef
In general, there are a few important points to consider for the success of the sauce:
–> You need enough bones.
–> The dark roasting of the bones results in the great color and taste.
–> Use port wine or high-quality red wine.
–> Prepare veal stock or use glass stock.
–> Roast the roasted starter well with the tomato paste so that the coloring and taste develop.
–> Slowly heat the sauce and bones ice-cold on the stove.
–> Simmer the sauce ingredients for 3-6-9 hours.
–> Pass the sauce through a fine sieve.
–> Reduce the sauce to the desired flavor density (boil down).
–> Thicken the sauce with finely grated potatoes or cornstarch as required.
–> If you don’t want to mix your sauce, pass the sauce through a strainer.
Always boil the strained cloth in boiling water so that no detergent gets into the sauce.
Strain cloth tip from chef Thomas Sixt
I prefer to mix up my sauce before serving. This saves me the passing cloth.
