Espagnole Sauce
Ingredients:
1 bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
3 to 4 fresh parsley stems
7 to 8 whole black peppercorns
2 tbsp clarified butter
1/2 cup onions (diced)
1/4 cup carrots (diced)
1/4 cup celery (diced)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups brown stock (i.e. beef stock)
2tablespoons tomato purée
Procedure:
• Gather the ingredients.
• Fold the bay leaf, thyme, parsley stems, and peppercorns in a square of cheesecloth and
tie the corners with a piece of kitchen twine. Leave the string long enough so that you can tie it
to the handle of your pot to make it easier to retrieve.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat until it becomes
frothy.
• Add the mirepoix—onions, carrots, and celery—and sauté for a few minutes until it's
lightly browned. Don't let it burn, though.
• With a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the mirepoix a little bit at a time, until it is fully
incorporated and forms a thick paste (this is your roux).
• Lower the heat and cook the roux for another 5 minutes or so, until it just starts to take
on a very light brown color. Don't let it burn, though.
• Using a wire whisk, slowly add the stock and tomato purée to the roux, whisking
vigorously to make sure it's free of lumps.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat, add the sachet, and simmer for about 50 minutes or until the
total volume has reduced by about 1/3, stirring frequently to make sure the sauce doesn't
scorch at the bottom of the pan.
• Use a ladle to skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and retrieve the sachet.
• For an extra smooth consistency, carefully pour the sauce through a wire mesh strainer
lined with a piece of cheesecloth.
• If you won't be serving the sauce right away, keep it covered and warm until you're
ready to use it.

layer of Swiss cheese, and another layer of ham. Evenly roll the chicken and place onto a new
sheet of plastic wrap.
• Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and use the excess plastic on the sides to twist,

bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.
