How to make white sauce. White meat sauce

You will need peppercorns. You can take black, green or white pepper, I most often take a mixture of 5 peppers and berries. It's just that black pepper will make the sauce more vigorous.

Peppercorns must be ground in a mill or coffee grinder, crushed in a mortar, or you can simply crush it with a glass or rolling pin. It is not necessary to turn the pepper into powder, just chop it. You need to take about one heaped teaspoon of ground or crushed pepper, you get about 2 teaspoons of peppercorns.


Melt a piece in a frying pan butter(I use a small skillet for sauces). Pour in the pepper and heat the pepper in oil for a minute.


Add 50-100 ml of alcohol for flaming. Cognac or brandy works well, but you can take rum or vodka (preferably fruit vodka, this is often made in Hungary and is called Palenque). For this purpose, I use Calvados - essentially a pear or apple French brandy.

Heat the liquid in a skillet and light it hot with a match. Wait until the flame is extinguished and stir. If you remove the pan from the heat, the flame will go out quickly, if not - a little longer. The contents will start to smell delicious.


When the flame has died out, you can add cream. I use liquid cream 30% fat. Heavy cream(the consistency of sour cream) it is better to dilute with milk about 50 to 50, otherwise the sauce will turn out too thick. Stirring constantly, let the cream boil and keep on very low heat for about 5 minutes. You need to make sure that the sauce does not run away.

The sauce is ready, it should wrap around the spatula or spoon. If the sauce is too runny, boil it down a little more. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve hot or warm immediately. If you overdo it with pepper, then add more cream. The sauce should not be too vigorous.

Then, stirring constantly, pour in sour cream, bring to the desired thickness and season with spices. You can use garlic, dill, green onions, pepper and basil.

You need to start preparing the white sauce by browning the flour. To do this, you need to take a dry frying pan, pour flour into it and put it on fire just below average. Stir the flour in the pan constantly (!) With a spatula so that it evenly “fries”. The color of the flour should change from white to light cream (not red, not brown, but a delicate creamy shade).

If you overcook the flour and bring it to brown, then you will not have a basic white sauce, but a red sauce (this is a separate kind of sauces, and it also has a right to be, but it has nothing to do with our recipe, so be careful and attentive ).

As soon as the flour has changed color, you need to turn off the heat and leave the pan to cool. The temperature should drop slightly - to about 60-70 degrees (this will take about 3-4 minutes).


Add ¼ part of the prepared HOT broth to the slightly cooled flour and turn the heat back on.

A few words about broth. It can be cooked from pork, beef, poultry or vegetables. If you have broth with salt, then this must be taken into account when adding salt to the finished sauce.



So, after adding ¼ part of the broth to the flour, you will get a thick, lumpy mixture. At this stage, you need to very actively stir with a spatula or whisk, trying to break all the lumps.



When the mixture is more homogeneous, you can add the remaining stock and stir the contents of the pan. You should get a pretty liquid base - it should be, because the sauce will still cook for 25-30 minutes.



Finely dice the onion and parsley or celery root.



Add vegetables to the liquid mixture and cook over low heat, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes. Stir the sauce from time to time.



During cooking, the vegetables will give off their aroma, and the finished sauce will have a delicate, barely perceptible flavors of onions and roots.



How can you tell if the sauce is ready and you can stop the cooking process? Run the spatula over the bottom of the pan. If a path has formed and the sauce slowly flows inward, everything is ready.



Now the sauce needs to be rubbed through a sieve in order to get rid of the pieces of vegetables.

You can beat everything in a blender, but the taste of the sauce will be too bright and onion.

So, grate the sauce with a spatula through a fine sieve and return to the pan or saucepan.



The sauce should be brought to a boil, but not boiled. As soon as small bubbles appear, turn off the heat.

Now you can add salt, butter to the sauce ...



... and also add lemon juice taste.
