''Espagnole'' is the French for "Spanish". Many French sauces have names of countries, such as [[hollandaise sauce]] or [[crème anglaise]]. Generally, the country's name is chosen as a tribute to a historical event or because the sauce's content evokes that country. In the case of Spanish sauce, it is thought that the name was given due to its red color, which is associated with Spain.<ref>{{Cite book <!--|author=Octopus Publishing Group--> |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lIRnPwAACAAJ |title=Larousse Gastronomique |date=2001 |publisher=Octopus Publishing Group |isbn=978-0-600-60688-8 |language=en}}</ref> | |||

Template:Short description Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Template:Infobox food Espagnole sauce (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a basic brown sauce, and is one of the mother sauces of classic French cuisine. It is a strong-flavoured brown sauce, made from a dark brown roux and brown stock—usually beef or veal stock—and tomatoes or tomato paste.Template:Sfn
In the early 19th century the chef Antonin Carême included it in his list of the basic sauces of French cooking. In the early 20th century Auguste Escoffier named it as one of the five sauces at the core of France's cuisine.
Etymology
Espagnole is the French for "Spanish". Many French sauces have names of countries, such as hollandaise sauce or crème anglaise. Generally, the country's name is chosen as a tribute to a historical event or because the sauce's content evokes that country. In the case of Spanish sauce, it is thought that the name was given due to its red color, which is associated with Spain.[1]
Subsequently, several attempts were created to explain its name. It is said, for example, that Anne of Austria – who, despite her name, was Spanish – introduced cooks from Spain to the kitchens of the French court and that her cooks improved the French brown sauce by adding tomatoes.Template:Sfn A similar tale refers to the Spanish cooks employed by Louis XIV's wife, Maria Theresa of Spain.[2] There is no record of Spanish cooks in the kitchens of the French court, therefore, these explanations appear to be baseless.[3] Another suggestion is that in the 17th century, Spanish bacon and ham were introduced as the meat for the stock on which the sauce is based, rather than the traditional beef.Template:Sfn
History
A "Spanish Sauce" appears in Vincent La Chapelle's 1733 cookery book Le Cuisinier moderne as a sauce for pheasant.Template:Sfn Marie-Antoine Carême printed a detailed recipe for "Sauce Espagnole" in his 1815 book Le Pâtissier royal parisien.Template:Sfn By the middle of the 19th century, the sauce was familiar in the English-speaking world; in her Modern Cookery of 1845 Eliza Acton gave two recipes for it, one with added wine and one without.Template:Sfn The sauce was included in Auguste Escoffier's 1903 classification of the five mother sauces, on which much French cooking depends.Template:Sfn
Ingredients
La Chapelle's recipe calls for onions, carrots, gravy, ham essence, lemon, garlic, basil, thyme, bay leaf, parsley, green onion, white wine, and, optionally, partridges. Liver is added at the end of cooking.
Carême's recipe runs to more than 400 words. He calls for ham, veal, and partridges gently braised in water for two hours, after which roux is mixed in and the pan is returned to the stove for a further two hours or more. It is garnished with "parsley, chives, bay leaves, thyme, sweet basil, cloves, and parings of mushrooms".Template:Sfn
Auguste Escoffier's recipe for espagnole, dating from 1903, is briefer, and it includes tomatoes, unlike older recipes. It calls for brown stock (made from veal, beef, and ham), brown roux, tomatoes, and mirepoix (diced onion, carrot, celery, and ham or lightly salted pork belly), simmered for up to eight hours.Template:Sfn
