Ingredients

  • Keep this "basic recipe" at hand as it will be useful in elaborating numerous other recipes.
  • MY ADVICE: Make this recipe in advance during the mushroom season. It may even be a good idea to buy large mushrooms or a great quantity of them for a cheap price, they will all be put in the blender anyway.
  • In order to preserve this coulis when it is done, fill some yoghurt jars and small plastic jars with the coulis, let it cool down, cover them properly and label them. Place them in the freezer.
  • If you make large amounts of coulis in advance you will be able to eat this recipe all year long.
  • Whenever you are ready to use one of these small jars of coulis, you may thaw them in a bain marie or in a microwave oven.
The day before, prepare:
  • 1 lit of veal stock (if this is dry stock, follow the recipe and add some more water)
  • 50 gr dry Cep mushrooms (also known as porcini, boletus edulis, penny bun) marinated in 50 cl double cream, seasoned with salt and freshly ground pepper
Next day:
  • 500 gr fresh cep mushrooms
  • 30 gr duck or goose fat
  • 3 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 lit double cream
salt and freshly ground white pepper
