Sauces to Die For: Making Demi-Glace

Video Description

Demi-glace is one of France's -- and the world's -- great sauces, which many chefs call “liquid gold”. It’s the basis for many other sauces but is great as is. Its deep, intense flavor is even more amazing because it has very little fat. It takes time to make, but it’s not hard and it’s worth it. We’ll make it in two steps and I have designed this lesson for 3 days, so you don’t have to cook overnight, which I don’t like to do. On Days 1 and 2 we’ll make the veal stock. On Day 3 we’ll finish the veal stock and use it to make the demi. -- John Hornick Instagram: @chefsapprenticecooklikeapro SEE THE FINISHED DISH Preparation time: about 16-20 hours over 2.5 days Ingredients: About 10 lbs. veal bones About 3 cups onions, chopped About 2 cups carrots, chopped About 1 cup celery, chopped Vegetable trimmings (optional) Bouquet garni (several fresh thyme sprigs, a small bunch of fresh parsley or parsley stems, about 2 Tb. black peppercorns, 1-2 bay leaves) 1 head of garlic, halved horizontally 6 oz. tomato paste Olive oil Check out my blog www.chefsapprentice.com RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS PORTER ROAD “LIFE-CHANGING MEAT” http://shrsl.com/2qj2x-1pvp-pj84 WINE: click here for great prices: https://wineexpress.vneoga.net/YRYM0R SAKE (10% DISCOUNT) https://tippsysake.refr.cc/tippsy-affiliate/u/johnhornick?s=sp&t=cp EQUIPMENT TO COOK ALMOST ANYTHING (more details: https://chefsapprentice.com/resources/well-equipped-kitchen-list/ ) Bag filler https://amzn.to/4ex3yVk Baking pans https://amzn.to/4kLPIAB Blender (Ninja) https://amzn.to/3G30hQO Butane Stove https://amzn.to/4eauf23 Cast iron skillet set https://amzn.to/408cU3J Citrus juicer/squeezer https://amzn.to/3HJ1Zrf Cooking Utensils Set https://amzn.to/44eIXAv Cutting board BEST: TrueBoard https://thetrueboard.com/ref/399 20% DISCOUNT: CHEFSAPPRE20); a good set https://amzn.to/4k48zG5 Deep fryer: Electric https://amzn.to/3SW5AV9 Pot https://amzn.to/4lCBFhx Donabe hotpot https://amzn.to/3GCbY14 Dutch Oven https://amzn.to/3I3hqu9 Egg topper: https://amzn.to/4e7ix8c Fish Spatula: https://amzn.to/448ie8F Food processor https://amzn.to/43Qef1z Graters: Box https://amzn.to/3T22lLQ Microplane https://amzn.to/3HMFyBe GrillGrate Grill, George Foreman hamburger grill https://amzn.to/4kOUkpG Ice Machine (countertop) https://amzn.to/4kwEn6P Ice Machine (15" undercounter) https://amzn.to/4ls0xrS Knives, set https://amzn.to/3FLv1px Boning https://amzn.to/4jTwM1H Bread https://amzn.to/3TxVqds Chef https://amzn.to/4kRUtZE Paring https://amzn.to/401mQML Slicer https://amzn.to/4kWSraQ Mandoline https://amzn.to/4jWXVRu Measuring cups https://amzn.to/45vs3jp Measuring spoons https://amzn.to/4egJir4 Meat pounder https://amzn.to/444xSSo Mixer https://amzn.to/44djO9m Mixing bowls https://amzn.to/3G73X41 Pasta Machine, handcrank https://amzn.to/46mm7tx Pastry knife https://amzn.to/4naUZ6C Peeler https://amzn.to/3GbBp9s Peppermill https://amzn.to/4l75Z34 Pizza Oven https://amzn.to/4nlK36h Pots and pans set https://amzn.to/3G2kjeh Stockpot https://amzn.to/44mBC2R Prep bowls https://amzn.to/444CxDS Ravioli cutters https://amzn.to/43Pdaak Ricer https://amzn.to/449PYlY Ring Molds https://amzn.to/44hsdJ0 Roasting pan https://amzn.to/4ebqxVS Roasting pan - disposable https://amzn.to/454dimS Rotisserie oven https://amzn.to/4lhULc8 Scale https://amzn.to/4jYZj63 Sheet pans https://amzn.to/448G30a Silpat https://amzn.to/3Go9aEL Sizzle plates https://amzn.to/4kPOJQc Slow cooker https://amzn.to/408pYWP Smoker https://amzn.to/3ZEkJhC Sous Vide Devices https://amzn.to/4kOdegq Spatulas, rubber https://amzn.to/4kQT6KM Steamer/Pasta Pot https://amzn.to/3G7mQ6V Strainers https://amzn.to/409NeUu String https://amzn.to/44oZfYH Thermometers Deep frying https://amzn.to/4n8Xu9p Instant read https://amzn.to/3SVUGid Meat, with probe and remote https://amzn.to/3ZGHnWx Tongs https://amzn.to/44pSHZS Torch https://amzn.to/3HMYjVk Vacuum sealer https://outofair.com/chefsapprentice Vacuum sealer bags https://outofair.com/chefsapprentice Whisks https://amzn.to/4lecD7E Wok https://amzn.to/45vCe7B Wood chips for smoking https://amzn.to/3FZOPpe Wooden spoons https://amzn.to/4kHdqOy Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
