Sauce Espagnole is the most underrated of the 4 French Mother sauces. Its depth of flavor that largely comes from the vegetables is unreal. Is it time consuming? Yes. Can you shorten it and still get that flavor? I don’t think so. But it’s worth it #recipe #cooking #frenchfood #dinner #eating #easyrecipe

  1. You flashed whatever was in that jar so fast I couldn't see what it was. Please say the name of it for me.

  2. I measure the time for a roux by the number of beers it takes to achieve the shade of brown I need. That’s about a three beer roux.

  3. I am intruiged. I’m veg*n, so I might have to make a couple adjustments, but this looks great! I’ve never seen anyone mention this one.

  4. But there are five French Mother Sauces; Béchamel, Velouté, Sauce Tomate, Hollandaise, and Espagnole.

  5. Make sure you eat that all when you serve it. Otherwise, hot roux into hot stock will break overnight after it cools in the fridge. Just like a gumbo will break for the same reason.

  6. Love your content and your impressions. Thank you. Few things on this one from a S. Louisianan. 1) darker roux 2) bell pepper 3)Pernod 4) seafood and you will have a proper seafood gumbo. Over rice. ❤
