The Mother Sauce Series: Velouté

The “Mother Sauces” are the five most basic sauces that any legitimate sauce is derived from. For each class of this series we are learning one mother sauce and expanding on them to create sauces you can use in everyday cooking.

Velouté is a stock-based white sauce that can be made from chicken, fish or veal stock thickened with white roux. Served with hearty chicken dishes, vegetables, pastas and veal dishes.
