Description

Daube Glace is a sophisticated French appetizer that transforms leftover pot roast into a delicate, savory jelly. This dish features a clear, aromatic consomme infused with lemon, vinegar, and a hint of cayenne pepper for warmth. The broth is clarified and set with gelatin, suspending tender shreds of beef in a translucent, flavorful matrix. It offers a refreshing contrast to heavy meals, with a clean, bright taste that highlights the quality of the meat and stock. Ideal for holiday spreads, luncheons, or as a light starter before a rich dinner, it brings a touch of old-world elegance to your table. Serve chilled on a crisp lettuce leaf with a dollop of mayonnaise or a tangy remoulade for the perfect bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large covered pot, combine consomme, 1/2 can water, lemon halves, vinegar, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, celery, chopped onion, green pepper, salt, Tabasco sauce, and garlic.
  2. Simmer the mixture gently for 1 1/2 hours to infuse the flavors.
  3. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh colander or cheesecloth to remove all solids, discarding the vegetables and lemon.
  4. In a small saucepan, bloom unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water, then melt over low heat until completely dissolved.
  5. Shred 1 lb of leftover pot roast into fine strands.
  6. Mix the shredded meat into the melted gelatin solution.
  7. Stir the meat-gelatin mixture into the strained hot consomme.
  8. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch pan or serving dish.
  9. Refrigerate until the aspic is partially set, then gently stir to distribute the meat evenly.
  10. Chill thoroughly until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Cut into squares and serve on a lettuce leaf with a dollop of mayonnaise.
