The importance of stock in the kitchen is indicated by the French word for stock fond, meaning “foundation” or “base.”
5
Stocks and Sauces
A stock is a clear and thin liquid that is flavored by soluble substances extracted form meat, fish, and poultry, their bones, and from vegetables and seasoning.
The French call a stock a fond (“base”) and is the foundation for many classic and modern dishes
6
Ingredients of a Stock
Ingredients Bones Meat Mirepoix Acid products Scraps and leftovers Seasonings and spices Water or remouillage
7
Vegetable Stocks
Made without animal products Made with a combination of vegetables,
water, herbs, spices, and, sometimes, wine. Sautéing the vegetables ahead of time will
mellow flavor. Do not use intense flavored vegetables, like
Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, or artichokes. Dark green leafy vegetables like spinach will cloud the stock.
8
Bones Bones are the main ingredient of stocks
(except water) Chicken stock from chicken bones Brown stock from beef or veal bones Fish stock from fish bones and trimmings White stock – Veal or beef bones, chicken
bones and pork bones sometimes in small quantities
Lamb, game, turkey, lobster have specialized uses
9
Mirepoix
The second most important contributors to flavor in a stock
Ingredients: Onions @ 50% Celery @ 25% Carrots @ 25%
A white mirepoix is made without onions to keep the stock colorless
In a vegetable stock a variety of vegetable may be used.
Cut mirepoix coarsely in uniform size.
10
Acid products Help to dissolve connective material Sometimes used to extract flavor and body
from bones Tomatoe products for brown stocks Wine, especially for fish stock
Scraps and leftovers Can be used if clean, wholesome, and
appropriate Remember a stockpot is not a garbage
disposal
11
Salt is generally not used in a stock. Stocks are frequently reduced, concentrating the salt flavor
Herbs and spices are to be used at a minimum, so they will not dominate the stock
Sachet bag - herbs and spices places in a cheesecloth bag and tied
Bouquet garni - an assortment of herbs and aromatic vegetables tied together (leeks, celery, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and parsley)
Seasonings and Spices
12
Blanching Bones- Procedures
The reason we blanch bones is to get rid of the impurities that cause cloudiness
Procedures for blanching bones: Rinse in cold water Place bones in stockpot or steam-jacketed
kettle, cover with cold water Bring water to a boil - impurities will
coagulate Drain the bone and rinse wellFish bones are not blanched
13
Preparing White Stocks Cut the bones into 3-4 inch pieces Rinse the bones in cold water Place bones in stock pot and cover with cold
water Bring bones to a boil, reduce to a simmer,
remove scum- ICK Add mirepoix, herbs, and spices Keep at a simmer, not a boil Skim surface Simmer for 3-6 hours Strain through a cheese cloth and china cap Cool quickly and refrigerate
14
Remouilage
A stock made from the bones that have already been used once to make a stock.
The French call it “rewetting.”
15
Procedures for Preparing Brown Stock Cut the bones into 3-4 inch pieces Place bones in roasting pan and place in a 375° F oven until
well browned, usually about an hour Drain and reserve the fat from the roasting pan. Deglaze
the pan with water Add mirepoix and vegetables to the roasting pan and sauté
until golden brown Bring bones to a boil in stock pot, reduce to a simmer,
remove scum- ICK Add browned mirepoix and vegetables to bones Keep at a simmer, not a boil Skim surface Simmer for 3-6 hours Strain through a cheese cloth and china cap Cool quickly and refrigerate
16
Reductions and Glazes
A glaze is a stock that has been reduces until it will coat the back of a spoon. It is solid and rubbery when refrigerated.
Glazes are used as flavorings in meat, fish, vegetable preparations Meat Glaze – Glace de viande Chicken Glaze – Glace de volaille Fish Glaze – Glace de poisson
17
Ingredient Proportions
Basic stocks Bones – 50% Mirepoix – 10% Water – 100% or to cover
18
Convenience Bases
A commercially-produced product Available in a powdered, paste, or
cube form Generally considered inferior to a
well-made stock Check the label for salt content,
which is generally high, may be the first ingredient
Possibly can save labor cost
19
Other Foundation Items
Court Bouillon Nage Glaze
20
Sauces A thickened liquid plus seasoning, used
to enhance food items Fine sauces are made by:
Using well-made stocks Using high-quality thickening agents
Adds: Moistness Appearance Flavor Richness Interest and appeal

Structure of a Sauce
A liquid, the body of the sauce A thickening agent Additional seasonings or flavoringLiquids to make the “Mother Sauces”:
White stock – for velouté sauce Brown stock – for brown sauce Milk – for béchamel Tomato plus stock – for tomato sauce Clarified butter – for hollandaise
22
Thickening Agents Roux
White Blond Brown
Roux Procedure Melt fat Add flour and mix thoroughly Cook to the desired color
Incorporating Roux into a Liquid Cold stock into a hot roux Room temperature into a hot stock
23
Roux
Fat Butter - preferred Margarine Animal fats Vegetable fats and oil
Flour Bread flour
Proportions Equal parts fat and flour- A good roux is stiff
not runny or pourable
24
Other Thickening Agents
Beurre manié Whitewash Cornstarch Arrowroot Liaison - Egg yolk and
cream liason Waxy maize Instant starches Vegetable purées Bread crumbs
Finishing Techniques Reduction Straining Deglazing Enriching with
butter or cream Adjust seasonings
25
Sauce Families
