How to make: Tomato Sauce. Welcome back to my sauc

How to make: Tomato Sauce. Welcome back to my sauce series! Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Start by prepping all your veggies. Chop up a yellow onion, 3 carrots, 2-3 celery stalks, and 4 cloves of garlic. They can be roughly chopped because it will be blended anyways. Chop 3 1/2 to 5 pounds of tomatoes into quarters. Cut a piece of cheese cloth into 5in by 5 in square. In the middle add a bay leaf, 1 tsp of peppercorn, 4 sprigs of parsley, and 2 sprigs of thyme. Bundle into a little pack and tie tightly. This is an herb sachet. In a large, oven proof pot- add diced, salted pork and cook over medium heat until fat renders out. Add in celery, carrots and onion or "mirepoix" and cook until fragrant. Add in garlic. Season with salt. and stir. Cook until fragrant. Add Tomatoes and 3 cups of chicken or veal stock. Add in your tied herb sachet. This will infuse flavor into your tomato sauce while it cooks. Bring to a boil, lower heat and cover. Cook in oven for 2-4 hours. You could honestly cook it all day, the longer the better imo. When you are done simmering, remove from oven. Remove the herb sachet. Using a hand blender blend up sauce until smooth. If you notice your consistency is too runny for your liking you can simmer on the stove uncovered until desired thickness is reached. Taste and season with salt. Store in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for up to six months. Great for pasta, polenta, shakshuka, and so much more. Be sure to follow for next week's sauce!⁠

Don’t at @ my transitions. This grandma tried to learn a new trick 😂 Happy Saturday ❤️

I partnered up with my friends at @havenskitchen and used their Herby Chimichurri sauce to create the scallop summer dish of dreams! The Herby Chimichurri really made my corn, hatch chili and tomato salad pop. The perfect base for Scallops. Ingredients and recipe below! Save and share with friends! ⁠
-⁠
-⁠
-⁠
-⁠
Ingredients:⁠
1/2 Red Onion, diced⁠
4 Ears of Corn, shucked⁠
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes⁠
1 Hatch Chili, seeds removed and diced ⁠
4 oz Prosciutto, chopped⁠
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced ⁠
2 tbsp Oil ⁠
1 pound Scallops ⁠
I Herby Chimichurri Sauce from Haven's Kitchen⁠
Salt and Pepper⁠

Recipe⁠
Line a plate with paper towels add scallops. Dry scallops with paper towel on the top. The more dry your scallops are, the better they will sear. Set aside in fridge while you make your hot corn salad. ⁠
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add in chopped prosciutto and allow to cook, it will start to brown. Add onions and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add hatch chili and shucked corn and stir while cooking until softened. Stir in cherry tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in Herby Chimichurri. Turn heat off. ⁠
Remove scallops from fridge and season both side with salt and pepper. In a cast iron skillet add 1 tbsp of oil. Add Scallops to pan and sear first side for 2-3 minutes. You want a brown crust. Flip and sear the other side. Remove from heat. ⁠
Add corn salad to a bowl and top with scallops. Be sure use some more of the Herby Chimichurri to the top! Enjoy! ⁠

How to make: Béchamel Sauce. Welcome back to my s

How to make: Béchamel Sauce. Welcome back to my sauce series! Using the white roux we made last week, we are going to make 1 of 5 of the mother sauces. Start by measuring out your roux. For every cup of liquid, you will need 1 oz of roux. Start by melting your roux in a pot on medium heat. Once melted slowly pour in whole milk while whisking. Be sure to do this slowly or you could end up with clumps or a grainy texture. Once whisked in, season with salt and pepper. You will want to heat to a simmer while whisking. This avoids scorching the milk. After about 10 minutes the sauce will have thickened and will coat the back of a spoon, or as I mentioned "a nappe" consistency. You can use it immediately or store for up to a week in the fridge. Béchamel is good for Mac and Cheese, Biscuits and Gravy, Vegetable Dishes, Lasagna, and many other uses. Be sure to follow along to see next week's sauce where I will show you how to make a tomato sauce which is the second out of the five mother sauces we will be covering.⁠

How to make: Roux. Welcome back to my sauce series

How to make: Roux. Welcome back to my sauce series! Roux is used as a thickener to thicken 3 out of 5 of the classical mother sauces. It's ingredients are simply equal parts, measured by weight, clarified butter (be sure to check out last weeks episode in the guide) and flour. Clarified butter is melted over medium or medium/low heat and flour is whisked in. In culinary school, my chef instructor said you want it to appear like quicksand almost. Be sure to whisk while heating within a few minutes you will have a white roux. A white roux is neutral in flavor and used for white sauces. After a few more minutes of heating and stirring you will start to notice a smell like "buttered popcorn" the color of the roux will start to become golden, this a blonde roux, if you continue to cook and stir your blonde roux will turn into a brown roux. And finally, if you continue to cook while stirring your brown roux will turn into a dark roux. I store mine in jars. Be sure to follow along to see how we will use these roux. Next weeks episode, I will show you how to make a Béchamel sauce which is 1 out of the 5 mother sauces we will be covering. Be sure to follow me to tag along for the sauce ride. Share with your friends!⁠
Fun fact: the darker the roux is the less thickening power it has. Meaning you have to use more of it as you cook it. White roux has the most thickening power! ⁠
