      Salt-roasted onions with sous vide vegetable broth and vegetable demi-lace.

      For this #TécnicasChallenge I really wanted to make a very technical dish, but based exclusively on vegetables. This is the result. I’ll tell you the techniques:

      1. Salt roasting. Very common for cooking fish and some meats, but not so much with vegetables. And the result is great. The recipe is from Rodrigo de la Calle, in his book ‘Cocina verde’. Do not miss his course ‘Alta cocina vegetal‘.

      2. Sous vide vegetable broth. I have applied the sous vide cooking technique (don’t miss Toni Botella’s courses, he has 9) to make a vegetable broth. It is fantastic because with this technique the broth is completely pristine and transparent but with a super potent vegetable flavor.

      3. Vegetable demiglace. In addition, cook another vegetable stock following the reduction technique to obtain a very powerful and very concentrated vegetable demi glace. The technique and the recipe can be found in Ignacio Barrios’ course ‘Caldos y fondos básicos‘.

      The final result is truly surprising, I assure you, and with an incredible flavor.

        Visually it is very nice. I’m sure it will be the same in the mouth 😍.

        I like how you achieved a 100% vegetable dish with techniques that we usually associate with meats or dark backgrounds. The salt adds an interesting texture to the onion, and the contrast between the clear broth and the concentrated demi-glace must be brutal on the palate.

        how did you manage the doneness so that the layers of onion were so defined without falling apart – tremendous workmanship.

        Thanks for joining the challenge and showing us this spectacular creation. ✨🫶🏻✨

          @sussan_scoolinaryteam tuve las cebollas en el horno 45, casi 50 minutos. Cruzaba los dedos por que salieran bien de la sal. La sal salió de una pieza y las cebollas estaban perfectas. La clave es dejarlss enfriar un poco antes de cortarlas… con un buen cuchillo y mucho cuidado 🥰

      • I love the idea of the salted onion. I’m sure it was delicious. Congratulations!

        ¡Tremenda ejecución para el #TécnicasChallenge! 🔥 Las cebollas asadas a la sal ya son una genialidad, pero combinarlas con un caldo sous vide prístino y una demiglace de verduras súper concentrada es puro arte culinario. Se nota el trabajo minucioso detrás del plato. 😉
