Now to put my scratch Demi Glace to use. I decided to make a Chasseur sauce or “hunters” sauce. The sauce was originally credited to have been created by Philippe De Mornay. Estimate around 1650 Philippe was credited with creating béchamel, mornay, porto, and Lyonnaise a well.
Traditionally this sauce was served over game meats usually very tough meats or those killed poorly. However there was a sale on Filet Mignon so that was what I went with.
I love twice baked potatoes so I decided to make those and bought a zucchini and mixed up with left over veg.
