Another good call, but I make risotto all the time too. I’m stuck in a gosh darn cooking rut. > [@Kimstu](#): > > Or sauce veloute or sauce supreme? Mother sauces to use in a meal, not the meal itself, but good sauce suggestions. > [@Kimstu](#): > > Or go balls to the wall and do an aspic of eggs or asparagus or whatever. Heh, I did make accidental aspic a few weeks ago that was pretty good… > [@Anyone still like / make aspic?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-still-like-make-aspic/979834): > > I made Chicken Piccata last night for a romantic VD dinner with Mrs. solost. In my version of Piccata I take homemade bone broth and reduce it to about 1/4 of its original volume to make the sauce. I had a little reduced broth left over, maybe less than a cup, so I put it in a container and refrigerated. When I make broth I don’t bother straining it too much, I just run it through a spaghetti strainer, so being reduced broth from the bottom of the pot, it had plenty of little chicken bits in it… > [@pulykamell](#): > > Tortellini Al brodo Again, not in a soup mood, but that sounds freakin’ delicious, and I will keep that recipe in mind for the future. I ended up making chicken tikka masala, and it was outstanding, but I decided to use commercial stock and freeze my own. The recipe I was loosely going by called for just water. It seemed a waste to use my homemade stock. What do y’all think— when you make something that calls for stock but has a lot of other stuff going on, like a curry or a gumbo, if you have homemade stock on hand do you use it, or save it for something better suited to the stock? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-s-a-good-recipe-for-using-homemade-chicken-broth/981035)._
