Tomato Sauce

7 Comments / Uncategorized, Sauces / By

Tomato sauce, also known as sauce tomate, is a beloved staple in the world of culinary arts. This versatile sauce was created by the renowned chef Auguste Escoffier, who played a significant role in revolutionizing French cuisine in the early 1900s. Escoffier’s tomato sauce recipe has stood the test of time and continues to be a fundamental component in countless dishes. The beauty of tomato sauce lies in its ability to enhance the flavors of a wide variety of foods. Whether it’s paired with tender meat, fish, vegetables, crusty bread, lasagna, or al dente pasta, there are few dishes that cannot be improved by the addition of this vibrant and flavorful sauce. One of the reasons tomato sauce is so popular is its simplicity.

The basic composition of French Sauce Tomate is tomato, fresh herbs, stock, and pork fat. However, and by omitting stock and pork fat, you allow the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomato to shine through, resulting in a vibrant and fresh base that can be used in a variety of recipes. 
Indeed, as a mother sauce, Sauce Tomate has many daughter sauces or derivatives. These small sauces include: Marinara sauce, Creole sauce, Spanish sauce, Provençale sauce, Vodka sauce, ketchup and Hot sauce.

Coq Au Vin

To discover the secrets behind a classic French dish that has transformed from peasant food to a staple on fine dining menus, join me in this exciting episode as we explore the flavors and techniques of Coq Au Vin. This dish, originally made with rooster, has gained popularity thanks to the incredible Julia Child, who played a significant role in introducing it to American homes. Coq Au Vin is often compared to beef bourguignon in terms of preparation, due to the similarities in using wine as a key ingredient. While the traditional choice of wine is Pinot Noir, known as Red Burgundy wine, different regions in France have their own variations of Coq Au Vin using the local wine, such as vin jaune from the Jura region, Riesling from Alsace, or Beaujolais. One crucial aspect to note about the preparation is the marinade. It is essential to cook the alcohol before marinating the meat. Contrary to popular belief, alcohol doesn’t actually tenderize the meat; it is the cooking process that tenderizes it. By cooking the alcohol first, we achieve the richness and fruitiness of the wine flavor without the risk of “burning” the meat or any harsh raw flavors. In this episode, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating an authentic Coq Au Vin, sharing tips and techniques that will elevate your culinary skills.
