Sauces have always been a big part of my culinary journey. Growing up as a French girl, they were served almost every day either with meals cooked in or along with them. When I moved out on my own, it was natural for me to make sauces and I was quite good at it. With little experience in the cooking department, sauces were my savior because they really enhanced my food. Gaining more and more confidence in the kitchen, I experimented with making “harder” sauce recipes.
There was one though that my mother used to make all the time and later on, I found out its “proper” name. It was Béchamel also known as White Sauce. This was the first sauce from the Classic 5 French Mother Sauces that I really mastered. From there, I started making its derivative sauces which are Mornay, Nantua, Cheddar Cheese, Cardinal and this featured one… Soubise Sauce!
This white onion sauce is absolutely delicious! Cooked on low temperature in tons of butter (French love their butter… and wine), the onions get creamy and soft. When they’re done, they are puréed into a smooth texture and then added to the Béchamel Sauce. Oh my, oh my! Simply divine!
In the video, I don’t show you how to make Béchamel Sauce because I already have in a previous episode so to get the recipe, click on the link. Also when the puréed onions and the white sauce are combined, this is when you decide on what seasonings to add to it. When I make Soubise Sauce, my spice of choice is hot paprika. It balances really well with the sweetness of the sauce.
Soubise Sauce is perfect to spoon over grilled chicken or pork chops. It also goes very well with beef and game meats. Like any other French Mother Sauce, this one is pretty easy and straight forward so elevate your proteins with this beautiful secondary sauce from Béchamel.
Bon Appétit!
