* Recipe for VEAL STOCK follows in another recipe file. For Chili-Corn Sauce: ===================== Coarsely chop the reserved trimmings from your onions and peppers; set aside. Cut the whole onion and peppers into a neat fine dice; set aside. With a small paring knife remove the corn kernels from the cob, reserving the cobs, and combine kernels with the diced vegetable mixture. In a large heave saucepan heat 2 tablespoons of oil until very hot but not smoking. Add the meat cubes and stir over high heat, shaking the pan, until the meat is nicely browned (about 7 minutes.) Add the chopped vegetable trimmings to the meat and toss 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the mixture and toss 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, ground red pepper and black pepper to the mixture and stir for 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and reduce the mixture for 2 minutes. Add the Veal Stock and reserved corncobs and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil mixture gently, skimming any fat from the surface frequently, until the stock has reduced to a light syrupy consistency (20 minutes or more.) Add the cream and continue to boil gently, skimming, until liquid is reduced and coats the back of a spoon (about 8 minutes or longer.) Remove and discard corncobs. Strain half of the mixture into a clean saucepan, add corn and vegetable mixture to strained liquid, boil for 2 minutes, and set aside. (Combine unstrained half and solids from strained half and reserve as a stew for another meal. Further cooking may be necessary.)

2 tb Oil, vegetable

6 lb Bones, beef, meaty

2 md Onions, trimmed, quartered

– don’t peel 2 lg Carrots, peeled, trimmed

– coarsely chopped 2 Celery, stalks, trimmed,

– coarsely chopped 1 Leek, trimmed, halved

– lengthwise, coarsely — chopped, (white and — green parts) 4 Garlic, cloves, unpeeled

1 bn Parsley, stems

2 c Water, plus more as needed

2 md Tomatoes, fresh or canned,

– cored, coarsely chopped 1/2 ts Thyme, dried, or

3 Thyme, sprigs

2 Bay leaf

2 Cloves

3/4 ts Salt, coarse

8 Peppercorns

Preheat oven to 450 F. Put the oil in a roasting pan and heat briefly in the oven. Add the bones to the oil in the pan, toss to coat and roast for 35 minutes.

Add the onions, carrots, celery, leek, garlic and parsley, tossing them all to coat with fat. Roast 30 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the bones and vegetables to a clean stockpot. Drain off as much of the fat as possible. Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat (use 2 burners if necessary), and add 2 cups of cold water and boil briefly. Scrape up all of the browned bits into the water. Transfer the liquid to the stock pot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring slowly to a boil, skimming off all of the froth that forms. Lower the heat and add tomatoes, thyme, bay leaves, cloves and salt. Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 hours adding water as necessary just to cover the ingredients. Skim whenever necessary. Add peppercorns for the last 15 minutes of the simmering. Strain the “soup” into a large bowl through a colander lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth. Gently press the solids to extract all of the liquid, and discard the solids. Pour the stock into containers for storage and label and date them. The stock will “keep” for up to 3 days in a refrigerator, and up to 6 months in a freezer.

– chopped 1 Bouquet garni ***

750 ml Wine, red, dry

3 oz Marrow, veal, OR

3 oz Marrow, beef

** Recipe for this ingredient can be found elsewhere in database. *** Bouquet garni is a bag made of cheesecloth containing leek, parsley, thyme, and bay leaf tied inside of it. It adds flavor and aroma to your dish without leaving the solid herbs and spices in the dish itself. After use, the cheesecloth bag is removed and discarded. Heat butter in medium saucepan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add bouquet garni and wine; bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in mixing bowl, mash together marrow and flour with fork until nearly smooth. Whisk into wine mixture and boil gently, whisking occasionally, until reduced by half. Add Veal Stock and simmer gently until thickened enough to coat a spoon lightly.
