    My Polish family had been making this sauce since I was young to spruce up leftover chicken from making soup and it took a *_lot of searching_* to find out it was specifically soubise - a little differently, frying the onions in the butter and then making the béchamel, but same basic concept.
    It's amazing what a little onion and butter does to a white sauce.

    The history make us understand that this is not just a cockyness in french cuisine. This is a real matter of culture and a richness achieve from time to time. Some recipes are literally peace of art in their conception and in their flavors. Most of the fine cuisine of all country's have a base of french cuisine.

      poorya poorhoseini Im assuming that by living in Tehran you already know Persian? Also you already know English, or at least seem pretty proficient in it. Why not go for three and learn French :). If you know English French should be fairly easy to grasp. French and English have many similar looking words making vocab a bit easier to pick up. There are lots of ways to learn French for free also :).

      now i know i probably will never be in a need to learn french, but due to the love i have for cooking, and trust me apart from the love i have for culinary, living in a country with thousands of years of history, i know a lot about cooking ;) , what this man is doing, is so authentic that actually's helping people like me to really feel and understand what french people are doing and thinking in that country.
      and besides bringing respect for french people, he's creating the love i was talking about. and this is really valuable.
      who knows maybe i'll go to learn some french online ;)

    OMG, I haven't seen an onion studded with cloves since I had to do it myself for marinating the shortribs in red wine. It was at a restaurant and we sold a lot of short ribs bourguignon style and I don't mind telling you it took forever. If I remember, chef wanted 12 cloves studded in 3 onions for each batch and we did double batches 2x a week. They had to be equally spaced in a very specific way and by the time you were done your finger tips were sore, lol. Like Kill Bill though, my finger tips became imune and remain that way to this day.

    This is amazing with kale and spinach. Though i add a pinch of mace and some garlic or shallot. Since nutmeg and pepper pair well with both bitter greens and cream... it ends up perfect. Its a little too rich for meat/ But it is heavy with pasta and bitter vegetables. It would probably be geat with asparagus.

Shrimp, salmon, compound butter for a nice juicy steak - so many uses! Or, I'll use the butter to pan fry the chicken, that should boost the flavor, oui?
    Maybe I'll smoke it & make smoked onion butter....☺️ Yum!
    Of course, that means I'll have to make a huge batch lol! 😅 Merci Stephane!

    Excellent video as always, Stephane, another recipe to add to my list. Would there be any benefit in cooking the onions in butter first, and using the drained butter as part of the butter when making the roux? While this would be a bit trickier to put together (you would have to estimate how much extra butter and flour to add), you would in theory get some extra onion sweetness.
