Vegetable Jus Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In roasting pan, combine onions, celery, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, toss well to coat, and mound in center of pan. Set lamb atop mixture. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Arrange carrots and celery root around meat and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Pour wine and broth into pan and cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil.
• Roast 1 hour. Remove foil and increase heat to 425°F. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of lamb registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 15 minutes more.
• Transfer lamb to carving board and tent with foil. Transfer carrots, celery root, and 1/2 of onions to medium bowl and keep warm. Force remaining contents of pan through medium-mesh strainer into medium saucepan, pressing well on solids. Skim off and discard fat. (Or pour pan juices through strainer into fat separator and let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully pour pan juices from separator into pan, discarding fat.)
• Set saucepan over moderate heat and bring to simmer. Cook, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Remove kitchen string from lamb and cut meat crosswise into thin slices. Arrange on platter with roasted vegetables. Serve warm, with jus alongside.

Steps:

• In a roasting pan, heat meat drippings over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery and onion; cook and stir until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, 3-5 minutes, scraping brown bits from bottom of roasting pan. Add wine; simmer until reduced slightly, 3-5 minutes. , Add beef stock; simmer until reduced by about half and slightly thickened, 8-12 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with prime rib or other cooked beef.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a roasting pan add chicken wings, vegetables, thyme and garlic. Season well with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes until the wings are nice and brown.
• Remove from the oven and set over medium-high heat on the stove top. Add white wine to deglaze and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Add the chicken stock and continue to simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid until about 1 cup remains. Remove from heat and strain through a china cap, pushing some of the vegetable pulp through the strainer with the back of a ladle - this will help thicken the jus slightly. Add the cold butter cubes to the jus and swirl until it melts. Season again with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Juice carrots, tomato, strawberries, lime slices, ginger, apple, and red bell pepper using a juicer following manufacturer's instructions.
