Tomato Consomme Recipe


#Tomatoconsommé #Consommé

Tomato consommé is more than just a soup, it is a clear broth bursting with DELICIOUS flavours.
A consommé has been clarified with egg whites, creating a crystal clear liquid.
It is of the highest sophistication associated with luxury and refinement due to the large quantity of ingredients needed for such a small yield. TASTY but delicate, a consommé is GOOD hot or cold and will impress any food lover when done correctly.

It starts with a raft! This cooking innovation is a simple scientific technique. As the stock heats up, the egg white proteins coagulate creating a net which catches particles and any impurities as they bubble to the top of the pan. The secret is not to let it boil too rapidly as this will result in the fats emulsifying and combining with the liquid clouding the pot. Adding ice cubes allows you to better control the temperature of the liquid as you slowly bring the pan to simmer, helping the raft form and clarify.

The magic of consommé is that although it is crystal clear, it has incredibly intense flavour.

This is is a dish that requires time and patience but the result is phenomenal.
