240 minutes
Spicy beef broth is a rich and aromatic dish of French cuisine, rooted in the tradition of creating complex broths for exquisite sauces and soups. Its intense meaty flavor is complemented by the spicy notes of the bouquet garni and the piquancy of tomato juice with chili sauce. Slow simmering for over three hours gives the broth a deep, rich taste and silky texture. This broth can be used as a base for soups, sauces, or served as a standalone warming dish enriched with pieces of crispy bacon. Perfect for cold evenings, filling the home with comfort and aromas of classic cooking.
