Essentials to a Sauce

Essentials:

Veloute or white sauce should form a semi-transparent veil

colour should accent the dish

It should have a body of flavours concentrated to just the right degree, mild or pungent, complement the rest of the dish

Glossy for brown demi-glace sauce

Frothy for sabayon and hollandaise

Subtopic

Unctuous for mayo

Sauce: It is a flavourful liquid, usually very thick and used to add flavours to food.

What a Sauce should be like:

Interests and appeal

Appearance

Richness

Flavourful

Moist

Roux

Definition: Roux (roo). This is a cooked mixture of fat usually butter but can also be meat drippings or oil, and flour used to thicken sauces and soups. It’s a equal ratio by weight of the two. Cooking takes out the starchy flavor of flour and adds toastiness to the sauce.

Blond: It contains equal parts of flour to fat too but is cooked for longer to give it a caramel colour and a nuttier flavour. It is cooked for around 10 minutes and create a type of velouté.

Brown: This is the darkest and is cooked for about 30 minutes. It is deeply flavourful and contains the same parts of fat to flour ratio. It gives you a maple colour and you must constantly stir or else it will burn.

White: It contains equal parts of fat to flour but you only cook the roux long enough to eliminate the flour’s raw flavour, meaning about 2 to 5 minutes. It makes a type of béchamel

Variation: To make aioli, add 1 minced garlic clove to the egg mixture, and substitute extravirgin olive oil for the canola oil. Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. To avoid the risk of salmonella infection, you can use pasteurized egg yolk instead.////. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/homemade-mayonnaise-241868

Tomato

Ingredients 10 pounds (4.5kg) ripe plum tomatoes, preferably mixed varieties (such as Romas, Amish Pastes, and San Marzanos), cut into large chunks, plus 15 pounds (6.8kg) ripe mixed tomatoes, mostly plums with a small portion of other tomatoes (such as beefsteaks), cut into large chunks 3 tablespoons (45ml) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing 1 large yellow onion, minced (see note) 3 medium cloves garlic, minced (see note) 2 large sprigs fresh basil 1 small tomato plant cutting with about 5 leaves (optional) Kosher salt. Directions: In a large stockpot, heat the 10 pounds plum tomatoes, covered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes dump their liquid. Bring to a boil in covered pot, stirring occasionally, and cook until tomatoes are softened, about 10 minutes.Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C) and grease several rimmed baking sheets and/or baking dishes with oil. Using a food mill or a stand mixer's vegetable strainer attachment, pass cooked plum tomatoes and all their liquid into a large heatproof container. Discard skins and seeds. Pour plum tomato purée into rimmed baking sheets and/or baking dishes, being careful not to overfill them. Carefully transfer baking sheets and dishes to oven and bake, checking every 15 minutes and stirring once purée begins to thicken, until a thick, spreadable tomato paste forms, at least 2 hours. Meanwhile, fill the same large stockpot with remaining 15 pounds mixed tomatoes and cook, covered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes dump their liquid. Bring to a boil in covered pot, stirring occasionally, and cook until tomatoes are softened, about 10 minutes. (Work in batches if your pot can't hold all 15 pounds at once.) Using food mill or stand mixer's vegetable strainer attachment, pass cooked mixed tomatoes and all their liquid into a large heatproof container. Discard skins and seeds. Measure out 1 quart (900ml) mixed-tomato purée and set aside. Heat 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil in a large, wide saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and sweet, about 8 minutes. Add remaining mixed-tomato purée and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in basil and tomato-plant cutting, if using; and let steep for 5 minutes. Discard basil and tomato-plant cutting. Stir in oven-dried tomato paste and reserved tomato purée and season with salt. Use as desired or freeze. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/08/the-best-fresh-tomato-sauce-for-pasta-recipe.html
