Glace de viande
- Meat Extract
Meat extract is made by straining the
remouillage or brown stock into a
heavy stock pot. It is important the pot is thick enough to
distribute the heat evenly of the stock will scorch during the
process. The stock is then allowed to simmer at a low heat
until it begins to take on a syrupy texture. The stock is then
transferred to a smaller thick bottom sauce pan where it should
continue to reduce on a low heat until it will coat a spoon.
Glace de viande is used as a fortifier to improve
the flavor of sauces or to coat or glaze certain meats or vegetables
during the cooking process.
Fish or game extract can be obtained in the same
manner from game stock or fish fumet
