Ingredients
[edit | edit source]- 1 ounce ham
- Butter
- ½ onion
- ½ carrot
- ½ stalk celery
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 sprig thyme
- 1 clove
- 4 peppercorns
- ⅓ cup vinegar
- ½ glass Chablis white wine
- 1 cup stock
- 6 tomatoes, cut up and strained of all their liquid
- Veloute or Espagnole sauce
- 1 tsp castor sugar
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 ounce butter
Procedure
[edit | edit source]- Cut up the ham, onion, carrot, and celery very finely. Fry them in butter together with the bay leaf, thyme, clove and peppercorns.
- Over this pour the vinegar, and when the liquid is all absorbed, add the Chablis and stock, then the tomatoes.
- Cook this in a covered stew pan and pass it through a sieve, making sure none of the bay leaf or thyme goes through.
- Mix this sauce with an equal quantity of Veloute sauce (No. 2) or Espagnole sauce, (No. 1), let it boil and pass through a sieve again.
- Add the castor sugar, the lemon juice, and butter.
Notes, tips, and variations
[edit | edit source]- Another tomato sauce may be made like this, using stock instead of vinegar and leaving out the lemon juice and sugar.
