Brown Stock (fond brun)

Method ( to be written on left hand side of page 1)

Cut bones into 3-4” pieces. Do not wash or blanch bones. Place the bones in a

roasting pan in layers, & brown in a hot oven (375 F/ 190 C) or pot, roast

until the bones are well browned. Remove the browned bones from the pan.

Deglaze the pan by adding water & bring to boil & allow simmering (beef &

veal bones 6-8 hrs, bones of mutton/pork for 4-6 hrs, chicken bones for 3-4

hrs, and fish bones(for white stock) for 30-45 min). Skim occasionally & let

stock continue to simmer. Toss brown & add mirepoix, add tomato (during

last 1 ½ to 2 hours) to the stockpot. Add bouquet Garni/ sachet’epices(bag

of spices) before the last 45 -30 minutes.Continue to simmer for the total

cooking time of 6-8 hrs. Skimming the surface as necessary using a

perforated spoon. (Keep the perforated spoon immersed in a vessel filled

with cold water, so that the skimmed impurities will not be dried and stuck

on the spoon, which may dirty the stock when the spoon is used again to skim

later.) Add water as needed to keep bones dipped in water. Strain through a

china cap/strainer(chinois) lined with small layer of cheese or muslin

cloth(tammy). Cool the stock, vent in a cold-water bath as fast as possible

less as 15 to 20 minutes, & refrigerate. Use the stock as required for future

use.

If the brown stock is prepared with beef/ veal bones it is termed as

estouffade and using any other bones it is termed as fonds brun( brown

stock)

White Stock (fond blanc)

(to be written on page 2 similar to as mentioned in recipe of brown stock)

Method: Cut the bones into 3” pieces. Wash and blanch the bones by rinsing in plain

water. Placing the bones in a stockpot with cold water and bring to boil, drain

the water out if the bones are very dirty and the water have become cloudy.

Measure and fill fresh water and bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer. Skim

and remove scum periodically. Add the mirepoix and sachet (tied in a muslin

cloth)or bouquet garni at the proper time. Simmer for 6-8 hrs. Add water to

keep bones covered with water. Strain through china cap lined with several

layer of muslin cloth. Cool the stock vented in water bath, as for brown

stock, Cover & refrigerate. Use as required.

[Refer – “White Stock” from Larousse] Ingredients Qty.

1. Water 1 ltr.

2. Bones (Veal, chicken, beef,

game lamb, turkey, pork) 500 gm.

3. Mirepoix 100 gm.

4. Vinegar / White wine (optional) 20 ml.

5. Sachet/bouquet garni (as for Brown Stock) 10 gm.

Note : for white stock some chefs prefer not to use any acids as the stock may become

cloudy due to disintegration of the proteins due to prolonged simmering with acids. In the

recipe the amount of acid used also is less due to the same reason, 20 ml instead of 50

ml.

Fish Stock (fond de poisson)

Method: Melt butter and sweat the bones, deglaze with wine, add mirepoix, add

water; bring to boil & allow simmering. Skim & let simmer for 30-45 min,

strain through a muslin cloth. Cool, vent in a cold-water bath & refrigerate.

A small onion, 2 cloves, half a bay leaf, & a sprig of parsley may be added for

flavour.

[Refer – “Fumet & Mushroom Fumet” court bouillon and nage from Larousse]

Ingredients Qty.

1. Water 1 ltr.

2. Butter 75 gm.

onion - 50%

celery – 15%

In fish stock too the amount of acid used is reduced due to fish being very flaky,

disintegrates very fast, and may make the stock cloudy.

Béchamel Sauce

with bay leaf, peppercorn, mace, clove, to facilitate straining ) for 10-15

mins. Cool slightly, melt the butter, add refined flour, & make a white roux.

Cool slightly; add infused milk gradually to the roux mixing and heating

constantly. Bring the sauce to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to

simmer and allow cooking for some more time. Adjust the consistency with

more hot milk, if necessary. Season very lightly with salt strain the sauce,

cover or spread melted butter to prevent skin formation.

béchamel sauce by some chefs)

flame & continue to beat the mixture until it is cooked & thickened & creamy

in consistency (Sabayon consistency). Remove the bowl from the heat &

vinegar, & combine the rest of the oil gradually in a continuous stream

whisking continuously. When all the oil has been incorporated check for

seasonings. Adjust the tartness & consistency by adding a little lemon juice.

Consommé

Method: Pre-prepare & prepare the given vegetables. Add little cold water, while

mixing the clear meat. Add the brown stock, which has been strained

through a muslin cloth into the clear meat. Stir it with a wooden spoon. Keep

this on a medium flame & keep stirring until you see fumes coming from the

mixture (or until it attains a temperature of 65-70 C). Now stop stirring

the mixture & allow the “raft” to form on the top, keep checking, & as soon

as the stock starts simmering reduce the flame & allow simmering for 40-45

mins. (Raft may crack but should not break). If the Consommé is not

simmering then the raft may sink to the bottom due its weight & may break.

Occasionally, spoon a little Consommé on top of the raft to moisten the raft

and facilitate better extraction. Strain carefully through a soup strainer

lined with a wet muslin cloth (4 folds). Serve piping hot.

*Always put garnish first on soup cup & then pour the soup. Always

remember to cook garnish of vegetable like; brunoise, julienne, etc.

Note: While straining the Consommé through a wet muslin cloth lined on a

soup strainer, do not pass through the same place of strainer for better

straining.

*Clear meat is the mixture of all the ingredients require to prepare a

Consommé except the stock.

A browned onion bud (oignon brulee) may be placed carefully on the raft

while simmering for better amber colour of the consommé if the stock is not

having the adequate colour.

Standard: Very clear amber coloured. Adequately seasoned & very well classified. It

should have a very good meaty flavour & should be free of fat globules. It

should not be cloudy. The garnish should be neatly cut & cooked, “Al Dente”.

Serve the soup piping hot with garnish.
