Demi-glace. The preparation of this fund is not demanding on ingredients, but mainly on time. For this reason, almost no one can afford to prepare it at home. In professional kitchens, the production requires at least 36 hours of slow cooking, which is often unaffordable even for smaller operations. Basically, you have the option of dissolving a cube of artificial broth in water and pretending to have demi-glace or buying it as a finished product. Making demi-glace: veal or beef bones (joints) – cut, root Vegetable Recipes (carrots, celery, parsley), onions, tomato paste, red wine, bay leaf, whole black pepper, allspice. Fry the bones with the Vegetable Recipes and puree until brown, add the spices and pour cold water over them. Cook on a low heat for at least 24 hours, adding cold water continuously. During this process, carefully skim the fat from the top of the pot. Strain through a cloth to remove all impurities. Add the red wine and reduce to one third of the contents. After cooling, it must gel and solidify.
