Consommé
For 2qt/l of consommé, you're going to need...
- Ingredients
2qt/l cold stock
250g raw meat (should match stock)
3 egg whites
- Time
- About 30 minutes
- Equipment
- stockpot or dutch oven (3qt/l or larger)
- knife (preferrably heavy)
Preparation
If the meat is not already ground, finely chop the raw meat to a ground consistency.
- In a cold pot:
+ 250g raw meat
+ 3 egg whites
Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Add to mixture:
2qt/l cold stock
Gently bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
When the egg whites rise to the top, poke a hole in the middle with a ladle and ladle the broth over the top to keep the egg moist. Continue simmering for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Strain through a colander lined with cheesecloth into a heat-resistant container and refrigerate until cool.
Use immediately, refrigerate for 3-4 days, or freeze indefinitely.
