RASPBERRY DEMI-GLACE INGREDIENTS:
1 sprig of thyme
2 parsley stems
1 bay leaf
3 whole black peppercorns
1 cup unsalted beef or veal stock
1 cup of espagnole sauce
5 ounces fresh raspberries
½ tablespoon dry sherry, or to taste, optional
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place the thyme, parsley stems, bay leaf, and peppercorns in the middle of a 6-inch square of cheesecloth. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth to form a sachet and tie with a piece of string.
- In a large pot, combine the beef or veal stock and espagnole sauce. Add the herb sachet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the sauce has been reduced by half. Add raspberries, and cook until the berries break down.
- Remove the herb sachet. Set a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth over a medium bowl, and strain the sauce.
- Season the dish with salt to taste, and add dry sherry.
