Sous Chef
I saw a video recently about split sauces (a liquid based sauce with a herb/infused oil on top) and I want to talk a bit about it.
In the video I linked, I understand what's going on until the very end. With cream based sauces, (maybe stock, beurre blanc/beurre Monte), you could then throw an herb oil (vinegar and oil, or balsamic vinegar and olive oil) to make these types of split sauces.
The last shot however, is a completely clear liquid with the herb oil in it.
He mentions aguachile (a ceviche liquid, I also thought of Tiger's Milk) as the liquid of choice, but I'm wondering what he's using specifically that's so clear here. It's not likely just water, and most aguachiles (liquid) I've seen aren't totally clear like water. Could he be using a combination of lime juice and water? Cucumber water perhaps?
Or is it just water for demonstration?
Oh. Any clear liquid ideas for this split sauce technique would be appreciated. I could only come up with cucumber water and lime water.
Consumme?
(I think if you just hit "no" when the video pops up it'll play outside of tiktok in case anyone else doesn't have tiktok
