(Serving suggestion only*)
Ingredients
2 oz clarified butter or whole butter
2 oz flour
1 oz celery, small dice
1 oz parsnip, small dice
1 oz yellow onion, small dice
1 qt white stock
 
 

(continued in the next column ↗️)

Sachet Ingredients:
½ bay leaf
¼ tsp thyme
¼ tsp peppercorns
2 parsley stems
Kosher salt, to taste
White pepper, to taste (optional)

Directions
In a sauce pot, warm up the stock you plan to use.
Add mirepoix (celery, parsnip, yellow onion) along with sachet ingredients to the stock. (🎯You can skip this part if you want to season the sauce with something else after finishing.)
In a medium sauce pot, melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk flour into butter to create a roux – be careful not to brown.
It should be about the consistency of wet sand.
Strain the stock (if you used the mirepoix and sachet).
Add the stock to the roux, whisking constantly.
❗Only add some of the stock at first and whisk until most of the lumps are gone, then slowly add the rest.
Continue to heat and whisk until you reach a velvety consistency, adding more stock slowly as needed.
If the velouté is to be used as-is, season to taste with salt and white pepper.
If it is to be used as an ingredient in other preparations, do not season velouté.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Evaluate the finished sauce.
Taste, season, and adjust as needed.
Cover or spread melted butter on surface to prevent skin formation.
Keep hot in a bain-marie, or cool in an ice bath for later use.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Once your Velouté is ready, you can transform it into Sauce Suprême by adding cream, creating a rich, velvety sauce often served with chicken. A Sauce Vin Blanc, perfect for pairing with fish and seafood, is made by infusing Velouté with white wine, enhancing its delicate flavor.
