"Cheater" Demi Glace - Because chicken + beef calf = -

I received a lot of e-mail after the publication of our classic demi-glace video, but not the kind I expected. Instead of being overwhelmed with praise for finally give this popular food wish we chastised me for having published a recipe that called for calf bone.

It seemed a bit unfair because the calf bone are sort of a key ingredient in what is essentially a reduced veal stock. However, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I sometimes forget that people do not live in restaurants, where things like veal knuckles are as ubiquitous as kale.

to cook your average house, the calf bone can be expensive and hard to find. Moreover, they come from baby cows, many people are against harm. Nope, using young calves adorable is simply not an option, but using the bones of ugly, fully grown chickens is apparently fine.

In is possible hypocrisy aside, this alternative method worked surprisingly well, and above and beyond the almost identical look and feel, the flavor was surprisingly close. It did not taste like chicken or beef, but was somewhere in the middle, which is basically how I would describe the veal taste. I really hope you give this cheaper version easier, and perhaps more ethical to try soon. Enjoy!
