Espagnole sauce Puns

Does any kitchen really use sauce espagnole anymore? I feel like espagnole is used way less than any other sauce and is only really used by banal French restaurants to make demi-glace. Sorry if I'm being heretical, asking a genuine question.

Im making it tomorrow and i'm basically wondering if its worth to go through the effort of making sauce espagnole with half instead of just reducing everything.

I'd love to expand my repertoire from emulsions into (keto-friendly) roux-based sauces, but don't want to make a giant batch of inedible rubbish. Any help appreciated r/Keto!

My recipe is as follows:

• 2 tbsp flour
• sunflower oil, to wet the flour
• ~1 tbsp butter
• beef stock cube
• ~1 dl water
• dab of mustard
• dab of tomato puree
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4-1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4-1/2 tsp jeera (optional)
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed
• 1-2 dl cream
• optional additions: sauteed onion, root vegetable puree (turnip, swede, carrot)

Browning the flour is done in sunflower oil, to quite dark but not cajun. I like the sauce bulky, so that it's a substantial part of the meal, rather than a thin sprinkle as is fashionable in French style. This recipe is the result of trial and error. Funny though that I found paprika can be substituted with rosehip and it works. I'm not asking what's the purists' "right" way of cooking sauce espagnole, but what you actually make yourself.

I am going to do it. I have made up my mind. These are the first few words of the new… the best … the Longest Text In The Entire History Of The Known Universe! This Has To Have Over 35,000 words the beat the current world record set by that person who made that flaming chicken handbooky thingy. I might just be saying random things the whole time I type in this so you might get confused a lot. I just discovered something terrible. autocorrect is on!! no!!! this has to be crazy, so I will have to break all the English language rules and the basic knowledge of the average human being. I am not an average human being, however I am special. no no no, not THAT kind of special ;). Why do people send that wink face! it always gives me nightmares! it can make a completely normal sentence creepy. imagine you are going to a friend’s house, so you text this: [ see you soon 🙂 ] seems normal, right? But what is you add the word semi to that colon? (Is that right? or is it the other way around) what is you add a lorry to that briquettes? (Semi-truck to that coal-on) anyway, back to the point: [ see you soon 😉 ]THAT IS JUST SO CREEPY! is that really your friend, or is it a creepy stalker watching your every move? Or even worse, is it your friend who is a creepy stalker? maybe you thought it was your friend, but it was actually your fri end (let me explain: you are happily in McDonalds, getting fat while eating yummy food and some random dude walks up and blots out the sun (he looks like a regular here) you can’t see anything else than him, so you can’t try to avoid eye contact. he finishes eating his cheeseburger (more like horseburgher(I learned that word from the merchant of Venice(which is a good play(if you can understand it(I can cause I got a special book with all the words in readable English written on the side of the page(which is kinda funny because Shakespeare was supposed to be a good poet but no-one can understand him(and he’s racist in act 2 scene1 of the play too))))))) and sits down beside you , like you are old pals (you’ve never met him before but he looks like he could be in some weird cult) he clears his throat and asks you a very personal question. “can i have some French fries?” (I don’t know why there called French fries when I’ve never seen a French person eat fries! all they eat it is stuff like baguettes and crêpes and rats named ratty-two-ee which is a really fun game on the PlayStation 2) And you think {bubbly cloud thinking bubble} “Hahahaha

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Je m appel Oliver, je suis belge, je vis dans un petit village, très rurale et reculé, prés de la frontière, village ultra calme et convivial, et ou le cadre de vie est plutôt paisible, c est le genre d endroit ou tu connais un peut tout le monde, tout le monde croise tout le monde, sais qui est qui, un endroit ou tu viens réhabitué pour son cadre de vie, soit par ce que tu est devenus parent ou tu est retraité, ou simplement une autre façons de vivre.

Pour bien ce mettre dans le contexte, je vais devoir un peut expliquer tout un déroulement psychologique, qui s’étale sur quelque année, ce qui va être un peut long.

Vers mes 15 ans, j ais découvert mon homosexualité, et pendant presque 10 ans, j ais eu très peur de le dire a mon père, car malheureusement c’est le seul parent qui me reste, et que je connaisse, ayant perdus ma mère quand j’avais 5ans, mon père étais le seul lien parentale que j avais, et de plus a l époque je vivais avec ma sœur (qui l as découvert, je ne sais comment, idem pour mon frère Albert) et mon 2e frère, Guy, qui étais handicapé, avec qui j étais entement fraternel.

j ais fait mon coming out lors d une discussion tout ce qui a de banal, en me rendant compte de mes réponse après coups, j ais plutôt vus en mon père du soulagement, que du mépris, idem pour mon frère Guy, et je me suis extrêmement rapprocher des 2, mais le reste de mes frères ( en réalité j ais 5 frères, donc certains qui me sont totalement inconnus, étant le dernier de 9 enfant, donc 3 décédé, mon père m »as eu a presque 60 ans) et ma sœur, c’étais plutôt l inverse, ma sœur ma vomis son homophobie dans le visage, m accusant de vouloir son mec, de contaminer ses enfants, m insultant de putain, voulant faire passer mon père pour un vieux sénile, laxiste etc., mon forer disant a mon neveux et filleul qu’ il doit aimer les files, bref, bonne ambiance, a telle point que la rupture arrive et que mon père les met a la porte et coupe tout les pont avec eux, moralement j étais pas au beau fixe, mais sa c’est que le début.

Après une année 2015, bien pourrie par tous sa, en 2016, le 11 novembre, mon frère Guy, décède, je suis détruit, mon père est anéantis, a 77 ans il doit faire enterré son fils, ne voulant pas lui infliger cette épreuve, je m occupe seul des obsèques, car même en cette période, mes frère ne font que actes de présence, l un deux se montrant en spectacle avec des larmes digne d un acteur de plus belle la vie, ma sœur ne se montrant mm pas, bref pas joyeux, et

On nous en parle depuis le CE2, on nous le rabâche chaque année à toutes les sauces, en anglais, espagnol, SVT, physique-chimie et même en français !!

C'est bon, mesdames et messieurs les professeurs ! On a comprit que la planète est en danger ! On est au courant qu'on doit recycler, ne pas rouler en voiture à essence, manger moins de viande, sauver les ours polaires, renoncer au nucléaire à tout prix (même si c'est à ce jour notre meilleure source d'énergie propre) et s'excuser d'être de sales pollueurs égocentriques à 11 ans et demi ! Pas la peine de ramener le sujet sur le tapis dès que l'occasion se présente !

Y en a ras-le-bol de ce discours écolo fade, victimaire et sans aucun intérêt, sachant que les vrais pollueurs ne se trouvent pas dans notre classe mais dans un fauteuil de bureau situé en Inde ou en Chine !!! Faites un cours original, prenez-vous en aux vrais responsables du changement climatique et surtout lâchez nous les baskets !

I’m looking for green sauces/marinades. I often do tofu and veggie stir fries and like Asian type flavoring. Any ideas?

Or just green sauces in general! Dips, dressings, etc.

Do your worst!

I've been (roughly) following this direction for demi-glace - and I now have probably 2-3 litres of brown stock.

Do I just split it evenly between the espagnole and brown sauce, or should I make more?

Also, when making beef stock I'd normally refrigerate it to remove all the fat (for use in other stuff like yorkshires & roasties). Should I do that with this, or should I split it while hot?

Edit: One other question. From experience, I normally avoid really boiling stock, to reduce it, like the plague and instead simmer it for ages. Thinking being, boiling's more likely to break down the proteins and carbs and take the flavour out of it. Is that just complete bollocks?

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They were cooked in Greece.

Obviously not a velouté if it comes roasted chicken stock … what would be the proper name? It’s going to be used as a Sauce Suprême. I’ve done it before and like results - just not sure what to call it.
