CHEZ EDDY DEMI-GLACE - LOW CARB LOW FAT



Chez Eddy Demi-Glace - Low Carb Low Fat image

This demi-glace contains no flour, starch or arrowroot for thickening or butter. It is thickened through the combined effect of long simmering and the natural gelatins contained in the bones. The best bones to use are veal knuckle bones but since it's hard to find, I use whatever beef bones I can find at the best price. Bones are first roasted for best color and taste. Once made this sauce can be frozen in portions for at least 6 months. Once you made the homemade version you will understand why homemade demi-glace is the king of all sauces.

Time 11h

Yield 8 C

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 lbs veal bones or 10 lbs beef bones
2 large onions, quartered
2 medium carrots, quartered
2 small leeks, white part only, split lengthwise in half and rinsed carefully
2 stalks celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
6 medium tomatoes, whole
24 springs parsley
2 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup hot water
16 cups water
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 teaspoon tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and roast the bones in a shallow roasting pan, turning occasionally until they begin to brown, about 1 hour.
  • Add onions, carrots, leeks, and celery and continue to roast for another 45 minutes. The bones should be dark golden color at this stage.
  • Drain off the fat and with a slotted spoon, transfer the bones and the vegetables to a large stockpot. Degraze the roasting pan by adding 1 C hot water to pan and stirring to dissolve cooking juices and pour this into the stockpot.
  • Add tomatoes, parsley, garlic, peppercorns, thyme and 16 C water.
  • Bring to boil and reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers. Skim off the foam as it collects on the surface. Cook uncovered until the liquid is reduced to half, approximately 4 to 6 hours.
  • Strain the stock through a fine sieve with several layers of cheesecloth. Discard the solids. Wash the stockpot and return the liquid to the stockpot.
  • Add wine and tomato paste to the strained liquid. Return to a boil then reduce to simmer for 3-4 hours until liquid is again reduced in half. Occasionally remove any scum.
  • Refrigerate until fat rises to the surface and hardens and skim off the solidified fat and discard.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended ( Splenda)
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup grated low-fat parmesan cheese
1/4 cup red onion, diced small
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, diced
8 ounces thawed chopped spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • In a large bowl, mix together the beef, eggs, Parmesan, vegetables, herbs, and seasonings.
  • Working on a waxed paper lined sheet pan or counter, form meatloaf mix into a 10 by 8-inch flat rectangle on the waxed paper. Place a layer of prosciutto slices on top, followed by a layer of provolone slices. Roll up the stuffed meatloaf mix like a burrito and seal the edges all around by pinching the meat.
  • Place the roll, seam side down, into a 5 by 9-inch loaf pan. Spread a heavy coat of the tomato topping to completely cover the top of the meatloaf.

DEMI-GLACE OR SEMI-DEMI-GLACE (SIMPLE REDUCTION AND 2 CHEATS)



Demi-Glace or Semi-Demi-Glace (Simple Reduction and 2 Cheats) image

Demi-glace is traditionally made by combining veal stock and espagnole and then simmering it until reduced by half to make a thick, rich sauce. Due to the considerable effort involved in making the traditional demi-glace, this simple stock reduction is a common substitute. Julia Child referred to this as a "semi-demi-glace".

Categories     Sauces

Time 12h3m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 quarts homemade beef stock
2 tablespoons red wine (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring stock to a boil.
  • Turn heat down to the lowest heat setting and allow to simmer for several hours until stock has reduced to 1-2 cups (remove any scum that rises to the surface as it simmers).
  • It has reduced to demi-glace if it thoroughly coats the back of the spoon.
  • *It's not as good as the homemade stock, but a good quality canned beef consommé can be used as a shortcut substitution. Reduce by half in the same way.
  • **In a real pinch 2 teaspoons beef base can be dissolved in 2 tablespoons red wine as a substitute for demi-glace.
