Coulis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 98.122.136.50 (talk) at 11:38, 14 October 2019 (The article described coulis as a "thick" sauce. That is simply false. Coulis, the word itself, derives from the French verb couler, meaning "to flow." Coulis is literally defined as a thin sauce in dictionaries, cooking manuals, and elsewhere.).

Preparation of the strawberry coulis

A coulis (/kˈl/ koo-LEE) is a form of thin sauce made from puréed and strained vegetables or fruits. A vegetable coulis is commonly used on meat and vegetable dishes, and it can also be used as a base for soups or other sauces. Fruit coulis are most often used on desserts. Raspberry coulis, for example, is especially popular with poached apples or Key lime pie.

Older uses

The term originally referred to the released juices of cooked meats, then usually to puréed meat-based soups, and today can sometimes refer to a puréed soup of shellfish.[1]
