  8. Divide the sole into soup bowls, pour in the soup and finish with the tomato casserole.
Notes
  • A consommé is a completely defatted broth that is made clear using proteins and to which a certain garnish has been added.  The basis of a consommé is a well-made strong stock (white, brown, poultry, game or fish perfume).
  • Supplies clarif (what the consommé is going to be):
  • - Nourishing ingredients: ground lean beef or ground raw, white and lean fish meat.
  • - Aromatic constituents: leek, celery, carrot, bouquet garni, tomato puree, pezo
  • - Clarifying ingredients: 2 to 4 proteins per litre of stock
  • Some tips:
  • - Once the clarifying cake has completed its clarifying function and is done, it will crack and sink back down.
  • - Very carefully pass through a nettle cloth.
  • - Make sure the spice is in order for the clarification, salt can be added later if necessary.
  • - Each consommé is served with garnish, however simple this may be, it should never be missing.
  • Some examples of trimmings:
  • - Consommé bergère: beef consommé with asparagus tips, mushrooms, chervil and tarragon
  • - Consommé celestine: poultry consommé with tomato concassée, sorrel and vermicelli
  • - Consommé brunoise: with brunoise of vegetables
  • - Consommé Diane: game consommé with quenelles of pheasant meat, brunoise of celery and tapioca
