6. ๏ฑ Mirepoix
๏ง Is a mixture of roughly chopped vegetables
used to add flavour, nutrients and color to the
stocks.
๏ก Percentage of Mirepoix
๏ง 50% onion
๏ง 25% carrots
๏ง 25% celery
๏ง 10% leeks
๏ก White mirepoix
๏ง It is necessary to keep the stock as colorless
as possible
๏ก Cutting of mirepoix
๏ง The chop or cut of the vegetables are coarsely
into relatively uniform-size pieces.
๏ง Size depends on how long it will cook (If the
mirepoix will cook some time as for beef
stock, cut into large pieces about 1-2 inches)
8. ๏ผ Cold Liquid -To make stock, start with cold liquid to allow the
solid ingredients to slowly release flavor and to help prevent
cloudiness.
๏ผ Natural Clarification - Muscles, blood, and many vegetable
tissues in the nourishing element or mirepoix contain albumin.
๏ผ Albumin - is a protein that is soluble only in cold water.
๏ผ Skimming - During simmering, use the process of dรฉpouillage to
skim fat and impurities from the surface.
๏ผ Straining Stocks -When the stock has simmered long enough for
it to acquire the flavor, color, and body desired, it is ready to strain.
10. (Fond Blanc)
๏ก Is colorless, made by
simmering vegetables with
the bones of chicken, beef,
veal, or fish.
๏ก This type of stock is used
for white

11. 1. Bones into pieces, 3 to 4 inches Cut the (8
to 10 cm) long.
2. Rinse the bones in cold water. (If desired,
chicken, veal, or beef bones may be

13. 9. Simmer for recommended length of time:
๏ง Beef and veal bonesโ6 to 8 hours
๏ง Chicken bonesโ3 to 4 hours
๏ง Fish bonesโ30 to 45 minutes
10. Skim the surface and strain off the stock
through a china cap lined with several
layers of cheesecloth.
11. Cool the stock as quickly as possible,
14. ๏ก 12. When cool,
refrigerate the
stock in covered
containers.
15. ๏ก The purpose of blanching bones is to rid them
of some of the impurities that cause
cloudiness.The bones of young animals,
especially veal and chicken, are highest in
blood and other impurities that cloud and
discolor stocks.
16. 1. Rinse bones in cold water.
2. Place bones in a stockpot or steam-
jacketed kettle and cover with cold water.
3. Bring the water to a boil.

17. (Fond Brun)
๏ก Is made from beef or veal
bones that have been
browned in the oven.
๏ก The bones are roasted
until golden in colour, not
burnt. (Burnt bones and
mirepoix will damage the
stockโs flavour and
colour).
18. 1. Cut the bones into pieces, 3 to 4 inches (8
to 10 cm) long, as for white stock.
2. Do not wash or blanch the bones.
3. Place the bones in a roasting pan in one
layer and brown in a hot oven at 3750F
(1900C) or higher.
19. 4. When the bones are well browned, remove
them from the pan and place them in a
stockpot.
5. Drain and reserve the fat from the roasting
pan.
6. While the stock is getting started, place
the mirepoix in the roasting pan with some
of the reserved fat and brown the
vegetables well in the oven.
20. 7. When the water in the
stockpot comes to a
simmer, skim and continue
as for white stock.
8. Add the browned
vegetables and the tomato
product to the stockpot. If
desired, they may be held
out until 2 to 3 hours
before the end of the
cooking time.
9. Continue as for white
stock.
21. ๏ก The mirepoix may be browned with the
bones.When the bones are half browned, add
the mirepoix to the pan and continue roasting
until bones and vegetables are browned.
๏ก Tomato may be added toward the end of
browning time, but exercise caution, as
tomato purรฉe burns easily.
22. (Fume de Poisson)
๏ก Is made from fish bones

parts of the vegetables
(such as carrot skins and
celery ends) are used for
preparing the veg stock
since they will not be
eaten.
26. ๏ก Use approximately equal proportions of
vegetables and water.
๏ก The basic ingredients of a vegetable stock are
vegetable, herbs and spices.
