Yes. Started with 50lbs of veal bones ordered from Sysco. A restaurant owner friend bought them for me.

When I was done, it was 3 days later. I had almost 1 gallon of demi glace.

He laughed and gave me a container of this.

It's all I use now. I usually add fresh herbs to make it my own. Everyone should have this on hand.

It was fun making the long version. It just takes an unreasonable amount of time.

You roast the bones. You make a rich stock of the bones seasoned with a mirepoix. Strain. Reduce.

From there you make an espagnole. You combine 1 part espagnole and one part rich stock, and then you have it.

Simple.

Just scanned Emeril's recipe. It only has 12 reviews. Probably because its a ridiculous amount of work.

I found this recipe for a Goat Cheese Gratin after straying from emeril's recipe i linked.

Would go good with your rack of lamb recipe. I think I know what I'm cooking this weekend.

Damn you. I'm trying to get buff for the beach...


Sub thinly sliced turnips for the potatoes and call it healthy. Trust me.

Goat Cheese Gratin


Looks promising. Twice the butter, and twice the garlic, and I'm all over that. A dash of cayenne wouldn't hurt it either.

I love goat cheese.

You definitely start with a veal stock, some people will take a second wash or remouage from the bones as well. It takes days to do it well. Working in a restaurant that always went from scratch on it, I appreciate the time if takes to do it right.

when I worked in a restaurant years ago we had a great demi glace. ive been racking my brains trying to remember how we made it.

then it hit me, we used some herbs and maybe some wine- but we got a bag of "demi glaze" that was the bulk of it . shite was good though

Goat Cheese Gratin

While I've never used Emeril's recipe, I did a three cheese gratin with goat cheese as one of the cheeses. Fabulous. Also tried it in mac 'n cheese, also fabulous.
