Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow onions are the most commonly used for sauce soubise, but you can also use white or red onions. Just be sure to use sweet onions, as they will caramelize better and give the sauce a more delicate flavor.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently: This is the most important step in making sauce soubise. Don't rush the process, or the onions will not caramelize properly and the sauce will not have the right flavor.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that is not too acidic.
  • Add the cream and butter at the end: This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Sauce soubise is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is especially good with fish, chicken, and vegetables. The sauce is also relatively easy to make, so it is a great option for home cooks of all levels. Whether you are looking for a new sauce to try or you are just looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your favorite dishes, sauce soubise is a great option.
