Knorr Professional Demi Glace: a brown sauce base with a dark colour and rich meaty taste, ready in under 5 minutes, in a single 750 g tub.
Knorr Professional Demi Glace is a powdered brown sauce base that Unilever Food Solutions says gives a dark, intense colour and rich, meaty taste, prepared in under five minutes. One 750 g pack yields about 9.4 litres. Ingredients include modified corn starch, palm oil, iodised salt, maltodextrin, modified potato starch, yeast extract, dried tomato and onion, beef flavour, roasted onion and vegetables, caramel, sugar, paprika, white pepper and citric acid; it contains soy and gluten and is a source of iodine. To make a litre, add 80 g to lukewarm water, stir and bring to the boil, then simmer for five minutes. Knorr suggests it as a base for sauces and stews, to enrich patties and meat fillings, and diluted as a braising liquid. In general, a demi-glace base is finished with pan juices, mushrooms or peppercorns for steak sauces. Shelf life is 12 months; store cool and dry, below 25°C.
