Veal Glaze Recipes

VEAL GLAZE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the veal stock to a simmer. Simmer slowly, skimming off any foam that forms on the top, uncovered, until the stock becomes thick and syrupy and is reduced to 1 cup. The glaze will keep refrigerated up to 3 days and frozen up to 6 months.

BRAISED SEA BASS WITH VEAL GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over high heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add the sea bass and sear quickly on both sides until nicely browned. Remove to a plate. Drain off all but about 2 teaspoons of the fat in the pan, set it over medium heat and add the garlic, ginger and jalapeno. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Whisk together the gin, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish stock, veal glaze and bell pepper and pour into the pan. Bring to a simmer and add the fish. Cover, adjust heat so that the mixture just simmers and cook, turning once, until the fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving plate and pour the sauce from the pan over it. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

VEAL DEMI-GLACé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread bones, carrot, onion, and celery on rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing several times, until vegetables and bones have begun to take on color, about 1 hour.
• Transfer roasted vegetables and bones to 5-quart stockpot. Add 2 quarts (8 cups) water and bouquet garni and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently, uncovered, until liquid measures approximately 2 cups, about 2 hours. Remove and discard bones and bouquet garni. Strain out vegetables and reserve liquid (glace de viande). Use gravy separator to skim fat (or let cool, then refrigerate until fat has solidified, at least 2 hours, and lift off and discard fat).
• Spray large sauté pan with canola oil and warm over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until shallots are translucent. Add wine and sherry and simmer, stirring and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, until liquid is almost evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add glace de viande and 3/4 cups water. Bring to boil and simmer until demi-glace measures about 2 cups, about five minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In small bowl, stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water to form paste. Stir paste into demi-glace and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute more. May be used as base for soups and sauces or as garnish for dishes such as Turkey Breast Medallions with Tomato Jam .
