What is veal stock

Instructions Before we get started, let me explain that this is a simple standardized recipe here for guidance. Remove bones from oven, rub with tomato paste, and place back in oven for another 20 minutes or until the tomato paste starts to caramelize and darken.

Place bones in an appropriately sized, heavy bottomed stockpot and add mirepoix on top onions, carrots, celery. The ratio given above is just a guideline, your personal preference should make the final decision. Fill the stockpot with enough cold water to cover the bones by at least 2"-3". See recipe notes Add peppercorns, parsley, thyme and bay leaf.

Heat stock over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. If working with larger batches of stock, you can heat over high heat. Do not allow the stock to boil or it will become cloudy and emulsify the remaining fat from the bones.

Simmer for hours, skimming with a ladle as necessary. A little trick is to pull the stockpot half way off the heat. The fat and scum will collect to one side, making it easier to skim.

After the stock is finished, strain through a China Cap and then through a chinois or a fine mesh strainer. If making a second running remiage , place bones back into stock pot. If you don't plan on making a remiage, discard bones, mirepoix, and sachet leaving you with only the pure veal stock. See recipe notes for more details.

Store in fridge for up to 5 days. You can freeze any leftover veal stock for up to three months. Notes Using cold water to start your stock will form larger protein aggregates, which will later stick to the edge of the pot or float to the top which you will later skim. Making White Veal Stock If you wish to make a white veal stock, skip the roasting phase and rinse the bones in cold water.

Reduction and Reinforcing Flavors In professional kitchens, a veal stock is rarely used as is. Recipe Category:. Sauces and Soups. View All. How to make white veal stock. Roast the bones for a long time to get as much caramelisation which equals flavour as possible.

Vegetables and aromatics. Water and seasoning. Start by massaging the bones with a little oil and roasting in the hot oven for about an hour. In a large stockpot, pour in a good glug of oil and add your onions, celery, leek, carrot and garlic cut-side down.

Sweat down until nicely caramelised, about 15 minutes. Add the roasted bones to the pot and deglaze the roasting tray with some of the wine.

Scrape all the flavour from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon or spatula. Pour the delicious juices into the stock pot and add the rest of the wine. Bring to a simmer. When the wine has reduced by three-quarters, top up the pan with cold water, just enough to cover the bones.

As a rule of thumb, you will need roughly the same weight of water as bones — just ensure the bones are completely submerged in liquid. Bring the stock to the boil, skim off the scum with a ladle and turn down the heat to a low simmer.

Simmer away for 4—6 hours, regularly skimming the rising impurities from the top. It is important to slowly simmer and not rapidly boil, as you need the time to build up flavour. Strain the liquid through a muslin cloth or fine sieve, then transfer to a storage container and chill down as quickly as possible. Alternatively, return to the pan and reduce down further to create a thicker, glossier sauce known as demi-glace, which is good for gravies or using as a concentrated stock.
