AKRON, OHIO -- April 16, 1997 -- Most home cooks find creating sauces to be the most difficult aspect of creating a gourmet meal. Home cooks often are at a loss when it comes to creating sauces based upon stock reductions, due to the many hours and saucier-level skills required to make the French classic sauces.
Now, Demi-Glace Gold®, Glace de Poulet Gold®, Veggie-Glace Gold® and Jus de Poulet Lie¢ Gold® from More Than Gourmet® enable home cooks to quickly and easily create countless variations in reduction sauces, which are equal in quality to sauces created in four star restaurants. All that's required is to add water to achieve the desired consistency. The all-natural products require no refrigeration until opened and have a shelf life of 1.5 years.
Home cooks can also create numerous variations by adding ingredients such as mushrooms, onions, heavy creme or creme fraiche and Dijon mustard, and by adding various wines and seasonings.
For those who favor lighter recipes but don't want to sacrifice sauces with deep, rich favors, Glace de Poulet Gold provides an excellent base for sauces with no fat and for low-salt diets, with just 40 milligrams of salt per cup.
Demi-Glace, the Queen of the Mother Sauces
Today, fine dining restaurants overwhelmingly favor reduction-style sauces--and demi-glace is the supreme reduction. And, because it is a mother sauce, numerous variations can be made by adding different ingredients and spices.
Demi-Glace Gold enables home cooks to create a classic demi-glace in minutes and to create a wide range of sauce variations. For example, mince 1/4 cup of shallots with cracked peppercorn and a cup of red wine, reduce and add Demi-Glace Gold and you've created a sauce au poivre that's perfect over strip steaks.
For game and poultry, make a world-class Sauce Chasseur by sautéing bacon in water until water is evaporated, then add quartered mushrooms and pearl onions and briefly sauté with the bacon. In a separate pan, reconstitute Demi-Glace Gold and add red wine and simmer for 5 minutes, then mix in with sautéed ingredients. To finish the sauce, add 1/4 cup cranberry relish and 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional).
The home cook will also have fantastic success by using Demi-Glace Gold and Glace de Poulet Gold diluted to a stock consistency for deglazing when making a quick pan sauce and as a braising liquid to create deeper flavors.
Enriches the Flavors of Grains
Demi-Glace Gold and Glace de Poulet Gold can also be used to enrich the flavor of grains--rice, barley, kasha--by adding a teaspoon per cup of grain to the water during cooking.
