How to make: Chicken Consommé #cooking #chef #consommé



Much more detail in the long form on my channel exclusively on YouTube.

I’ve been cooking for. over 35 years and I STILL get excited by this. Chicken Consommé – cooking wizardry. It’s a process, but one that is cathartic and connected. You’ll see this featured in my Dome Dore video, a homage to Paul Bocuse as well as in another video where I recreate one of my favourite dishes from Claridge’s Hotel (coming soon). So, it’s used as a component in many high level dishes but works as a broth / soup too. One of the ultimate cold busters.

Recipe:

Consommé Raft
1 chicken breast, no skin/diced
2 chicken wings
4 egg whites
1 whole egg (with shell)
1/2 carrot, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 stick celery, diced
5g salt
In a food processor, blend the chicken with diced vegetables, add salt, egg white and egg shell. Reserve.

Consommé
Chicken stock, reduced by half/chilled until cold
Consommé raft
In a narrow stock pan, add the chicken stock and bring to blood temperature over a slow heat. Add the consommé raft and whisk well. Bring to a gentle simmer whisking again before it reaches a slow boil. Cook for 45 minutes gently. Remove from heat and pass through a fine mesh sieve lined with muslin containing thyme.

  1. What’s the advantage of doing it in this method of blending all the chicken and vegetables together with the egg white before adding to a stock, versus making a regular stock with all the usual ingredients then clarifying it with only egg whites then passing that through a cheese cloth?
