Sauce vierge is one of my all time favorite sauces. The word "vierge" is French for "virgin," meaning that the ingredients in a vierge are not cooked. This is the sauce that we use for our heirloom tomato caprese, which I will demonstrate in an upcoming video.
In this video, I demonstrate a classic version of white chicken stock. White stocks are commonly used for more subtlety flavored sauces, comsommes, and broths. It is also the base for the French Mother Sauce Veloute.
The technique of blanching bones before making a stock is commonly used in Asian cuisine, where a lot of recipes favor delicately flavored broths that are hard to achieve with roasted bones and mirepoix.
In this video you will learn how to make a classic fish stock, which can then be used to make any number of sauces, broths, and soups.
