Before You Begin Demi Glace Sauce Recipe
Demi-glace Sauce is a rich brown sauce based on French cuisine, used on its own or as a base for other sauces. In order to make demi-glace, it is necessary to apply the traditional methods applied by French chefs to obtain a shiny look and covering for the sauce.
Preparing Demi-Glace sauce is not difficult, but it is a time consuming process and requires patience. The most important point (simmer) is the long boiling and liquid reduction (pulling) process in a fire like candle flame. As the liquids decrease, the aroma increases at the same rate. Since it takes a long time, it does not require you to do all the steps in the preparation of the sauce at the same time. Preparing the brown bone broth (Espagnole sauce) on the basis of the sauce in advance will almost halve the preparation of the demi-glace sauce.
Another point in this sauce is the seasoning process. As with any food that is cooked for a long time, the spice processes made from the front affect the aroma of the spices negatively, which causes the unwanted bitterness in terms of taste. Therefore, the sauce can be portioned and frozen after it is prepared, and it is best to make it while the seasoning sauce is heated when it is served.
