Ingredients

Procedure

edit
  1. Cut up the ham, onion, carrot, and celery very finely. Fry them in butter together with the bay leaf, thyme, clove and peppercorns.
  2. Over this pour the vinegar, and when the liquid is all absorbed, add the Chablis and stock, then the tomatoes.
  3. Cook this in a covered stew pan and pass it through a sieve, making sure none of the bay leaf or thyme goes through.
  4. Mix this sauce with an equal quantity of Veloute sauce (No. 2) or Espagnole sauce, (No. 1), let it boil and pass through a sieve again.
  5. Add the castor sugar, the lemon juice, and butter.

Notes, tips, and variations

edit
  • Another tomato sauce may be made like this, using stock instead of vinegar and leaving out the lemon juice and sugar.
